Pre-oiler question

[SuperHart]

In my Cobra I use a product called Pre-Luber. It gives me the desired oil pressure build up and circulation I want prior to starting the engine without the plumbing, accumulator, etc. required by the Accusump system. My setup has worked flawlessly for more than eight years now and I love it. Here is the link "http://www.prelub.com/web/Engine-Pre-Lube/pre-lube.html". When I first turn the key, the pump activates, drawing oil from the oil pan just like the oil pump does, passes it through the oil filter and builds pressure. The pump automatically shuts off in 60 seconds. You can even set the system to continue to pump oil through the motor for up to 60 seconds after shutting the engine off if you like but I don't use that feature. You must use a sandwich type adapter between the engine block and the oil filter. Because I also run an oil cooler I chose a Mocal adapter with a built-in thermostat to keep oil from the cooler until it was hot.

In my opinion, this system works very well, takes up less installation space and is simpler to install and operate than the conventional Accusump. The only disadvantage is that if you suddenly lose oil pressure the Pre-luber won't maintain oil pressure like the Accusump system will. For street use, the Pre-luber can't be beat. For racing I would not recommend it. Then only the Accusump would be recommended.
