At first start up after winter, I un-plug the MSD box (under my dash) and crank the engine until pressure is up. It does take several revolutions.

The other thing is that thicker oil will take a bit longer to circulate throughout the engine. The temps and weather here in the SF Bay Area allow us a chance to drive our cars throughout the year too.
Having a new engine block, like the CSX block with priority main oiling, I feel comfortable that my engine will do fine without the pre-oiler. In my head, the pre-oiler increases the chance for leaks and I hate leaks. |
