Will It Build Pressure & How Much? Will It Blow The Oil Filer? Pre-Fill The Filter? Last Installment

22 days ago

1978 Chevy 305 small block.... SBC as the say get cranked to prime the oil pump. Finally torqued the oil pan with the one piece gasket. It takes several goings over to get it even. Had to trim a socket to get it to work but that happens. To get the pump to prime quickly I filled the K&N HP-2002 to the brim and I do think that is the best way. I put in 5 quarts of oil but with the new pan, thicker gasket that brings the pan down and all of that I added 1/2 a quart. This also means you may need to put a new mark on your dip stick. I unplugged the fuel pump and cranked it until I got pressure and then started it... that is the time to check the oil level and mark it.

Please only do what I do at your own risk.

I have some information on Odysee too if you'd like to check that out and I also post these on Rumble and X.

Thank You for watching
