Priming engine before first start-up and setting ignition timing #34

Having fun with this Performance 454 BBC engine build, and the next step is to get the engine ready for its first start. It's a good practice to prime the engine's oiling system before installing it into the car or starting the engine for the first time. I do this for a couple of reasons... to fill up all the oil passageways and oil filter so that you aren't starting it up with no oil, also to ...

    I see some of these videos for cheap oil priming tools I figured out my problem I was just using a drill But if I had bit in the oil just pours out of the galley It doesn't prime one side of the head that's why I use a regular distributor to make a tool No one seems to really understand how the oiling system really works in these on UA-cam. Because no one ever mentions this A distributor restricts the flow from one of the cam galleys to get oil to push rods and lifters

    Back in the 90's I had some serious oxidation issues using stainless bolts with an aluminum intake manifold. The bolts deteriorated the intake to the point that it was almost unusable as the bolt holes were deformed due to oxidation. I don't know if it was a metallurgical issue or not but I also encountered the same problem with stainless bolts and an aluminum boat transom repair using never seize that time. The bolts still bnded to the aluminum and had serious white oxidization at every fastener point. I have not used stainless bolts in an aluminum application since and i would be very apprehensive about putting them into an aluminum head. Just my experience. Have you encountered similar?

    • @Myersmetalworks

    I made a "flapper rod" for my die grinder about 25 years ago, I used a 3/4" bolt shoulder. I turned it down on one end to 1/4" so that it would chuck up. I cut a slot in the big end for emory cloth. I can wrap emory cloth and achieve whatever desired thickness over3/4" and tear off the outer layer as I go. Thanks for yet another video.

    Ah the early 90's, a great time to be a gearhead. I bought my first car, a low option '69 Nova(307/th350), for $600 in 1992 and built a 327 with junkyard L98 aluminum heads for it in my HS auto shop. It was almost always on M&H cheater slicks and embarrassed a lot of people at the local street spot. I also had the David Vizard SBC head book from that time and the Car Craft issue with the flowbench plans in it. After HS I found an old Kwickway seat and guide machine from a shop that was closing down. I used it to rebuild a lot of fuelie and other heads for friends to help finance my hobby. Never did get around to building the flowbench but one of my HS autoshop teachers did.
