The idea I was trying to convey was not a full pre pressure oilier. What
the concept is that the pump or pre-pressured tank is to do is just pre
fill the oil passages and or wet down the parts till full pressure is
built up by engine oil pump.
I know of 2 companies that make the pre-oilier that use the pressure
tank and I don't see how the small amount of oil these hold can do much
other then maybe pre fill the first part of the oil passages with oil.
That's way I toyed around with the pump method.
