Re: [AMC-list] Engine assembly

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

In either Car Craft or Hot Rod, they built a pre-lube bucket for use 
with a late model engine with the same problem. I think the contraption 
was nothing more that a 5 gallon bucket with oil in it, a hose and 
fitting to connect to the engine, and a hole to stick the end of a blow 
gun into to pressurize it. You could probably rig something up with a 
hand pump pressure sprayer like you use to to spray various garden 
chemicals if nothing else.
