plz all i ever done is with a cordless drill and a ext n socket.. full speed counter clock wise till pressure goes to pressure gauge,,,yadone,...dont take a lotta crap ,dont make a mountain outta a mole hill..get aa drill put a socket on it and spin it,,wouldnt hurt to make it snug on ext tho so socket wont drop....of course if its outta car anyway(motor)anyway,its easy to get droped part out..

 

What am i atatching the socket to? do i pull the whole distributor out? i need as many details as i can get

 

everyone sais turn it counter clockwise. what happens if u turn it clockwise? j/w

 

I have an old distributor that I gutted, just the housing and the shaft, works like a champ and you dont have to worry about the shaft wobbling

 

clockwisewont suck it up it will push it out.....theres a oil pump rod to get thats like 10$ its long and ya stick in a drill and spin it..sumit/jegs has them

 

i was told that just dumping some oil under the valve covers and a bit into each spark plug hole would be enough for the initial startup....

i'm sure you guys will prove me wrong though...

 

do you have to put grease or oil at the end of rod?

 

I've always used a 3/8's impact connected to a 1/4 drive extension w/ a 1/4 socket no problem. If the socket falls off there no way its going to fall past the oil pump shaft so you can pull it out with a magnetic wand.

I've tried it both ways, both ways worked and didn't mess anything up.

 

That won't prime up your lifter, oil the bearings, etc etc.

 

I used my Dewalt 18V and 2 long screwdriver extentions. I put them together and then put the screwdriver end in the drill so the connector end was out....stuck that into the oil pump DS. I put it on the low speed/hi tq setting and that took care of it. If you have a ****ty drill, it'll run your batteries down quick, BTW....
