Completely UN - necessary!
Take your drill and oil pump priming rod, insert and spin. Have a friend turn the crank to get oil everywhere! Your done.
Vasoline? That guy has got to be kidding us!
If your oil pump, old or new, needs Vasoline to help create suction, then the pump is bad. Once the vasoline gets dispersed into the engine (that can’t be good!) what will you do once the oil pump is cleared of it? Take off the pump and re apply vasoline for the spring start up? Non sense! Total nonsense!
