Here's how to prime a small block Mopar (Just to pick a subject) Fill the pan to the proper level with fresh oil of the proper grade. Remove the distributor and the intermediate shaft, noting how the shaft was turned at TDC on the compression stroke. Have your drill with the hex rod ready. Have your half inch ratchet with proper socket for the harmonic balancer bolt ready. Remove the spark plugs to make turning the engine by hand easier. Lay a few old towels across the passenger side fender. Remove the passenger side valve cover and then remove the rocker arm assembly and lay it in the valve cover for safe keeping. Time to go in the house and get your lovely assistant (wife or girlfriend) off Facebook and ask her to come give you a hand for a minute. Insert the hex rod down thru the distributor hole and into the oil pump. Get your assistant to lean in over the passenger side fender to run the drill while you rotate the crank with aforementioned ratchet/socket. Set up camera to record results for future reference. Ask (don't tell) her to start the drill and don't stop, no matter what! Turn the crank with the ratchet until oil very obviously appears from the 2nd rocker shaft support from the rear, and then stop turning the crank. Take note on how long she runs the drill when oil appears. At this point, you may not have time to put your tools away before you have to hunt a new place to live for a few days.....if not forever.
Disclaimer: Newer and not very experienced guys take note. DO NOT do this! This was meant as satire to get a laugh from older, experienced guys who have indeed seen oil shoot across a fender and halfway across the shop.
