Hmmm.... I friend of mine madeup a utility tool, a female slotted rod that
mates to the oil pumpthrough the distributor mount. We attach a 1/2" variable
speeddrill, (in reverse) and prime the motor that way. Works well, getting
thedizzy in on the correct tooth takes way longer, I'd welcome a a trickthere!

If all you are doing is starting it in the garage on level ground, therewill be
more than enough oil in the oil pan even once it gets pumped tothe accusump.?
Alternately, same issue on overfilling - unlikely tocause any problems, and you
could overfill by one quart, then go back andand another once the accusump is
filled.
I use one of the tanks pictured below to fill the system when I amstarting up a
freshly rebuilt engine.? This forces oil through allthe galleys at over 30
PSI.? I just put in 4 quarts and put most ofthe oil in this way, then
disconnect the hose from the oil galley andstart the engine. The only problem
with this one is it???s a pain to fill- Summit sells one with a bigger fill
port, but more money.
BTW, Accusump will rebuild their product, though I think all that???s inthere
is a big o-ring.

Listerati,
I???ve got a question about how best to charge a new accusump. I replacedmy old
one because I feared it might have been compromised with someshrapnel from
blowing up an engine and the fact it was a few decadesold.
I???m trying to minimize the engine being started without oil pressure asmuch
as possible. I???d like to keep it to two times. I had to start itonce (to
break in the new cam and lifters) without charging the accusumpbecause I wanted
to catch any ???stuff??? from the new engine in the K&P reusable oil filter and
didn???t want the new accusump to beinvolved in case there was metal particles,
etc. as a result of the firstrunning. Fortunately there was none, except a tiny
tiny piece of gasketthat had escaped all the cleaning and block cleansing that
had beendone.
Now I???m ready to do one more start up and my plan is to run it so thatthe oil
gets filtered one more time and while it is running to flip theswitch (it has
an electric valve)? to the accusump (2 quart) to fillit up and pressurize it.
Question is, should I add extra oil initially before the start up (whichmeans
it will be 2 quarts over full) or fill it up once I throw theswitch while the
accusump takes 2 quarts of oil from the existing oil inthe system?
My concerns by are using the former method overfilling can cause problemsand
the latter method means the system might be low on oil until I canquickly pour
another two quarts in.
What to do? At this point I???m leaning towards the lattermethod.
Thanks
Bud Rolofson
