Default Peroil the motor before startup

Lineslinger I have mine on an electric switch. Before I crank my motor to start a turn on the accusump to peroil the motor. I wait 15 seconds, the pressure gauge gets up to 30 psi. I start the motor. Once started a let the accusump refill and turn off. At the race track it is left on when pulling a G in either autocross or road racing. IMO it's cheap insurance for your motor. Most of your engine wear is on startups. Dry starts kills motors over time. This is why GM, FORD, Dodge, and every other car company will NEVER have them installed on any car,Turbo cars have a timer setup for oil to help cool down turbo assembly. They run up to 5 minutes after shut down. If every car had a peroiler, the motors would last 300K without any problems and the car dealers would be out of bussiness. Your car would also last 20 years. The body would rot off long before the motor would give up. I am looking to put a 383 in my tow truck. I am adding an accusump to the truck. This will be my last truck and motor for this truck. Choise is your's, It saved saved my $17,000.00 motor at R&G. It's worth the price IMO. Rick Lake Ps on your hi oil pressure, make sure you check the distributor gear and oil pump drive shaft. Look at the cam gear for knife edgeing also. HVHP RULES
