the places that sell the elic oil pump pre lumbers says %90 or car motor
ware come at start up do to no or little oil in the bearings
and the men that get payed to repair the car motors says that is bull
stuff who wonts a car motor to last over 100-200 k miles any way
are thay hoping to rebuild more motors and get payed

turning the key on and seeing a oil light go out would gave my lots of
peace of mind i have not Jerry rigged one on any thing i own yet
i was thinking of using a oil burner pump and elic motor to turn it and
shutting the motor off at some psi of oil presser
