How to prime new build with oil
I am wondering if there is a proper procedure for priming a new engine build with oil? When I built a couple of LS engines, I primed the oil galleys with a pressure pot full of oil. So far, when it comes to twin cams, all I have been seeing is builders applying liberal amounts of assembly lube on all of the contact surfaces.
Should I assume “this is the way”? Some builders even pack the oil pump with petroleum jelly to lube and promote suction in the pump. Thoughts?
