This may not be as good as a pre-oiler, but it is a lot simpler. I installed a starter button under the dash (out of sight) to turn over the engine with no spark. When I see oil pressure I stop and use the key to fire it right up. The engine was broken in on a dyno; not cheap, but effective. I'm thinking of converting to synthetic after my first oil change (20-50). Anyone know of any advantages of sticking with conventional oil? (Besides the cost.) Rich
