Oh it had 80 pounds on the run in stand so I know there’s no plug out. I got out my air drill and even with the compressor pumped all the way up it had a hell of a time and only dripped from the oil line. I guess I will just have to buy a 1/2 drill if I’m gonna keep doing this

Something doesn't sound right - where is the oil line plumbed to, next to dizzy or oil filter adapter? And you're sure your spinning CCW? No offense, but have you confirmed you have full oil pan?

I know you've taken the gauge off the line but has the brass oil line ferrell crushed the line? Take the line totally off the brass fitting and then try it.

The oil line is plumbed in by the filter and the line is not pinched or kinked. I really just think I can’t get a good grip on the tool without chuck slippage, too heavy oil, and too weak a drill. It’s definitely moving oil because the tool comes out soaked and the line has a steady dribble but the electric drill sounds like it’s gonna explode when I really push it and the air drill bogs down below 75 pounds

No better use for a cheap Harbor Freight 1/2" drill. Mine gets oil to the rockers in about 30 sec. All of $30.

I got a mud mixer drill from amazon for 45 dollars with a 2 year warranty and a keyed chuck. We will give that a try

I've gotten oil at the rocker using an old distributor shaft and a Milwaukee cordless 3/8 angle drill .... would pump up to 20 psi ... bog the drill to a stand still .... I'd give it a second, run it up to 20 psi again ... half a dozen times and I had oil at the rockers, never more than 20 psi. Rotated the crank 90 degrees at a time all the way around, each time going to 20 psi ... then called it done.
I was using OEM stamped steel rockers ... still somewhat loose prior to final rocker adjustment ... so depending on where the cam was the lifters that were down would leak the oil out between lifter and pushrod, the lifters that were up it would come out at the rocker. |

If you have any valve grinding / lapping compound spread it on the driveshaft where the drill clamps onto and it will not spin.
Also check the end / top of the 3 teeth on your drill's Chuck, as many times the are beat up and rounded over. If so close down the Chuck all the way flat file them back to being a sharp edge.

Is your 3/8” drill electric or cordless?

The trick to all this is fill the new oil filter full of oil then screw it on before your first spin. All your trying to do is replace the air in the lubricating system with oil. The new oil filter holds 95% of the air you're trying to rid the system of, the pump holds 5%. Do this and you'll be like Jed Clampet watching that bubbling crude coming up out of the ground in no time.

IDK, myself , after break in, I would of changed oil, run til HOT,fogged it on final hot run, backed off rockers and sealed it up tight as a frogs ass. Put in big Bag with desiccant pack/s. Put on a cardboard lined, plywood top pallet, gently to not compromise bag integrity.
Store in a Constant climate controlled environment!!!!! Let it rest peacefully and sealed, till time to put it in service. Can’t wrap me head around why you are priming it over and over again?? 😐 Prime it again once before firing it up to go in service..after setting valves. |

No need for this. There is already oil on all the internal surfaces. Back off the rockers, pull the plugs, add a bit of oil to each cylinder, turn over by hand, reinstall the plugs, bag it up and say good-night until your ready to run it. If you're anal about it, spray the exterior with WD-40 and throw some dessicant in the bag before sealing.

I have let rebuilt engines sit in the past with no protection for ungodly amounts of time then plopped them in and started them up (all 350 chevys with the 400 dollar northern auto rebuild kits) never had a problem but my machinist specifically told me every 3 months to turn it over 1/4 at a time and spray marvel mystery oil or the like in the spark plug holes, prime while turning and then put it back. I got over 10 grand in this motor and I got a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty as long as I document my odometer and the day it’s installed and fired up with video so I want to do what he says.
