Used the regulator and gauges from my leak-down tester to control the air pressure at 10 psi.

Converted 2 gallon hand sprayer I picked up at Home Depot. Installed a air line quick connect fitting in place of the safty valve.

Engine connection point is the plug fitting located at the top side of the oil filter housing. Made a couple of plugs out of delrin to block off the oil cooler fittings. Inserted a short section of clear hose for a flow visual.

Yep...just threw that together, didya...

The things you make and know just blow my mind.

I cannot wait to see this thing run!
