marso Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I can't take credit for this the original idea is Dad's. (Randy) I saw his set up but didn't have access to an empty propane tank and stainless line so with a little Home Depot trip I found what I needed. Here's a list. 4" 45' street elbow4" female thread slip coupler4" threaded plug4" to 1 1/2" reducer1 1/2" plug3' 3/8" I.D. clear tubing(2) 3/8" Barb X 1/4"MIP fittings1/4" brass ball valve1/4"X1/4" male thread adapter.male quick disconnect adapter. (same that's used on air tools)(2) medium hose clamps Just the PVC parts shown.http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/marso13/IMG_0023.jpg Glue the 4" threaded slip and reducer onto street elbow. Be careful not to get glue on the threads of the slip.Glue the 1 1/2" plug in the reducer.drill a 1/2" hole in the center of the plug. (you can use a smaller bit and tap the hole. I didn't have one so I let the fitting cut the threads)Thread in one of the 3/8" pipe nipple. Connect one end of the hose.http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/marso13/IMG_0024.jpg Do the same thing in the threaded plug but install the 1/4X1/4 male threaded coupler instead of the nipple.screw the ball valve on the coupler.screw the qd coupler in the other end of the ball valve.http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/marso13/IMG_0026.jpg screw the other nipple into the turbo oil feed port and attach the other end of the hose. ( I couldn't get the oil galley plug out of the block like Dad did so another option had to be used. This worked perfectly)http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/marso13/IMG_0030.jpg Put some grease on the threads of the 4" plug to keep it from sticking in the elbow.Fill the elbow with oil. Approx 2qts. screw on the plug. MAKE SURE THE BALL VALVE IS OFF. Adjust compressor regulator to 20psi. Attach air hose. SLOWLY open ball valve untill you can see the oil moving through the hose. You wont need to open the valve all the way. Once all of the air stops coming out of the rockers the engine should be primed. Too much air pressure will cause the head to fill up faster than it can drain so oil will overflow the head and run down the back of the enginehttp://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/marso13/IMG_0028.jpg I hope everyone can use this or improve it to your liking. (Sorry Randy for making a moped out of your Ferrari :roll: . I also made this set up to pressure check the intercooler and hoses at the same time. PVC is 1 1/2" the rest is self explanitory.http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii177/marso13/IMG_0031.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dad Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Hey great Job! No need to apologize I did not come up with the idea, I I bought My Tank. Just a reminder- shut off the supply before it empties- you don't want to injest air into the oil system, that would defeat the purpose.I suggest your post here get added to the FAQ perhaps injected right into mine on the oil priming?

Ryan_V Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 The Pinto Primer.. Took about 2 qts or less and less than a minute to prime. They have these at all the parts stores. I found that the weird black plastic piece at the end self taps if you screw it into the oil pump port. It's soft enough that the plastic doesnt break off or anything either. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/202062/IMGP0647.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_V Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 It screws in enough so that you don't have to hold it to the block too. Pump oil through the system until you see oil coming out of the rails on the head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marso Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Definitely more simple than mine but manually operated. Six of one, a few dozen less than the other guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
