LT5 Crate Engine - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Corvette95 · 05-16-2006

I have a 95 Crate engine. What is the best way to actually pressurise the oiling system to circulate the oil throught the passages, I understand hand rotating the engine will not prime the oil pump. I have been hand turning the engine and putting very small amounts of sea foam in each cylinder and keep it in a humidty controlled storage wrapped in corrosive preventing wrap. Just want to make sure it stays brand new...especially since the last one I saw on ebay was going for a $22,000 reserve.
