I would normally ask Phil (Throttle Crazy) or Brendan (ronsfriend) but since both are gone I figured I check to see if anyone knows. How do you prime a fresh engine before the first startup? I've only built engines that have oil pumps driven off the cam so I've always been able to just prime it with a drill motor and something to slip into the pump like an old distributor. How do you prime an LS?
