Re: S10 Frame Swap w/ AD and LS motor

I built a pressure pot to force oil into my motor, since it has not been run for a long time. Basically I put oil into the pot and then used compressed air to force oil throughout the oil gallery. When I saw it come out the rockers I figured I was good.

If any of you in the Los Angeles area need to use this please feel free to ask. It will not be seeing much use at my end.

Also, after having my motor for slightly over 3 years now, I was able to get it fired up on Saturday for the first time. Since I had the whole harness apart I wasn't sure if all wiring was reconnected properly (albeit only on a temporary basis). I'm not sure how to post a video but I was really happy to hear it run, and it idled incredibly smoothly-sounded like a well oiled sewing machine. I still have some cab work do to before I permanently land it onto the frame, but at least I know that aspect works and I look forward to getting the PCM permanently installed in the cab.
