There are STCs to install a small electric motor and pump on the
firewall for the purpose of prelubing.

that is for pilots who know their engine needs prelubing but at just too lazy
to pull the prop over.

gene, give it up and go back to study hall.

sorry, gene, you are only partly right. yes, that is a propeller, but no it

So, what does the scraper ring scrape? Where does the replenishing
oil come from and how long does it take to get there?

you pull the prop through many times

*that*, I'd like to see....

(or crank
over with the mags turned off) to bring the oil pressure up to pressure to
lube
the bearings before startup.



While you are trying to build pressure up in the oil system, how are
all of those portions of the engine that are splash lubed getting oil?
There are Lycoming engines that receive NO oil to the cam, the gears,
valve train, or cylinders unless there is splash lubrication. While
you are concentrating on the main bearings, everything else is running
dry.

a little weak in the arm, are you gene? or are you just suggesting you like to
see a man's arm involved in doing something useful?

Jax,

I'm a certificated aircraft mechanic and factory trained by Lycoming
and Continental. I touch these engines every day so I know pretty much
what they look like. However, I won't continue to upset you by
offering FACTS that contradict that comfortable little JaxWorld you
live in.

a high school buddy of mine had one of those licenses before his 19th birthday.
How many years did it take you to get yours?

It seems oil was not covered in the class you took.

dennie, you operate a fork lift in a boat dealership in the Texas desert within
trailing distance of a resevoir. This, you claim, makes you an expert on
torque convertor marine transmissions, and the use of engine oil in those
torque convertors.

A quick read of some of your ramblings on the net show that you are trying
against all hope to give up the life of a fork lift operator and move on to
what you consider the The Big Time as a web site developer, but so far find
your ass getting kicked in that business by high school kids who do a more
professional job of design.

Likely guess is that you known even less about web design than you do about
torque convertor marine transmissions.
