I posted Dmetalmiki's pics of his engine prelubricator in a new thread, "Engine Prelubricator" http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=111638#111638

dmetalmiki - Where does the prelubricator pump draw it's oil from?

I'm with you on the JT spin on mod. I'm a bit surprised he went with the 7/8"-16 thread size as the stock filter tubes are 1"-16 thread. I've contacted John and he says he has some flexibility in the filter thread size, so there is the possibility of using a more modern filter. Baldwin has a...

There was a thread in the Deuce mod and hot rod forum where there seemed to be quite a bit of interest in spin on filters. How much $ are we talking? Spin on filters would be a convenience for filter changes, but anti drain back spin ons would be great, should solve the dry start problem with a...

He was outside playing with his truck in 30 degree weather because he was having a HEAT WAVE!!!!! Here it is 6 degrees outside now and getting colder! That's why I haven't gone outside to figure out if it is my master cylinder or my stoplight switch that is leaking brake fluid. That, and I'd...

I'm with Bjorn on this one. I have checked out the Amsoil and FS2000 sites extensively, and that is what they recommend. The bypass filter is restricted to bypass only about 10% of the oil flow, probably less than that on the multifuel considering the high oil flow volume. Since the oil sender...

RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Re: RE: Check valve for oil filters? I'd like to see how you plumb those filters in. Obviously you are using some sort of remote filter base, but how do you intend to get the oil supply and return lines from the stock filter bases to the remote filter heads?

Jon - Those pre-lubers are nice but pretty pricey for my taste, although cheaper than a new engine I suppose. Saturn has a universal 24V fuel pump for $36.50 which could probably be adapted to use a a pre-luber. I've noticed that there is an unused boss, identical to the oil dipstick boss, just...

RE: Re: RE: Check valve for oil filters? Recovery4x4 - your "couple of 4 or 5 second cranks before I turn the fuel on" are still turning the engine over dry, so I don't see much improvement there. Jim - The oil accumulator COULD work, but it would take 4-5 quarts of oil to fill both filters...

Ryan - I've been considering that idea. Saturn has a 24V fuel pump rated at 5-7 GPM (pressure not stated) for about $50. All I'd need is a way to draw oil out of the sump (have a couple of thoughts on that also) and then pump the oil into the pipe drain plug on the oil filter base (which, BTW, I...

Yes, this is a major bother to me also. My Deuce takes about 15 seconds to build oil pressure on a cold start. There were a couple of threads in the past trying to figure out how to adapt a spin on filter with anti drain back to the Deuce filter housing, but all seemed to come to a dead end due...
