oil pressure while priming engine?
Ok, I'm priming the new engine with my Black and Decker drill that's rated at 0-1500 RPM. At max speed, I'm showing 45 PSI on my MAC guage that I have in my pressure port directly above my oil filter.
Anyone else have a guage on theirs, while priming it? Should this equate to 45 PS!/cold with the engine running at 1500 RPM's.
This is a Jegs standard volume pump with the 50-55 PSI spring in it and 10W30 oil. The pump also comes with a 65-70 PSI spring, and an 80-90 PSI spring.

the crank turns twice as fast as the cam so...1500 rpm would be 3,000
The drill probly isn't going to have the power to turn 1500 with the load on it.
If you got 45 psi from a drill I would say that pretty good.....does it bog down when it starts pulling oil?

Um...Got a little update. I modified my primer to incorporate my distributor plug. I wanted to get oil to the right bank pushrods. Without the plug, a SBC won't allow oil to cross over. With the plug in it, and the same drill, I'm pumping 68 PSI.

I hate to bring this back from the dead, but how did you modify that to work?
The tool I'm using, the collar won't plug the hole, or even close to it, and oil is coming up out of it.

I have both of those in the pic above. for my summit oiling tool, I had to use sand paper to shrimk the diam. of the "sleeve" to fit down into the block. no big deal, just took about 20 min.s turning it in my hand to "shrink" down the diam. of the sleeve until it fit. obviously, you need to clean the sleeve before attempting to put it into the block. dont want that dust in the oil now do you.
