Pre oiling a /6. What method?

[iScamp]

Any ideas on preoiling a Slant? Can’t spin the pump shaft like a v8. It’s been sitting a year.

Remove the oil pressure sensor, install a (same thread) fitting you can adapt a hose to. Using a pressure pot (garden sprayer) or a squeezable bottle of the sorts filled with your favorite oil, connect the hose to the pressure pot or squeeze bottle and let-er-rip. I'm sure there will be other recommendations, but I've been using a pressure pot method for a long time with good results.

Remove all six sparkplugs so the engine spins easily. Using an oil can put a couple pumps of light oil in each cylinder if desired.
Assuming you have a reliable oil pressure light or gauge. Crank the motor for about 10 seconds at a time till you see good news on the gauge or the light blink off. If the motor was good a year ago it will be just as good now.

Amen brother! They just don't quit.

Thanks, FABO guys.

I'd also pull the coil wire off to make sure it doesn't start up while it's still dry while cranking
