Working on a dual overhead cam 4 valve per cylinder hemi and I was told it won't work you can't do that. So, I wanted to prime the oiling system of a 2.2 Cobalt engine which has a crank driven oil pump. I was told there is no way to spin the pump without turning the crankshaft so the only way to prime the system is with a pressure pot.... I purchased a piece of plastic for $9 and turned up a priming tool on the lathe to spin the pump. Wella in about an hour using half the material. I can prime a 2.2 the right way.
