Meziere Oil Pressure Primer Article

Really like this new product from Meziere!

Pretty cool. I don't know how much I need it. But cool nonetheless.

I didn't hear anything about a filter in the system? I'd be leery about pulling oil from the bottom of the pan without one?

These are kind of cool if using a remote filter.

Peterson primer

I think it's a really great idea, not that it just helps save the starter but that it pre-lubes the engine prior to firing. I don't see any down side at all.

neat piece. accusump is another alternative

Does anyone build pressure with the starter prior to firing the engine?

I think the only time I do that is following the 'pre-storage' oil change, to get fresh oil through the passages without getting fuel or combustion byproducts in the oil.

Not that this isn't a neat idea, but I think I'd use an accumulator if I was worried about prelubing. It can also help with pressure loss during a run, which this would not.

All three motors have the Peterson or K&N primer. Really don’t need them they are heavier. Easy to flip belt off and prime. If it’s been sitting long then it’s belt off and primed everywhere.

I would think as bad as the new oils are cranking cold after long term sitting would probably take a toll.
But I know a bunch who don’t prime.

Bill, The pump has a 100 micron screen on the inlet side built in. This helps protect the pump. It can be removed and cleaned as needed.

Thank you.
I assumed it would have a filter, surprised it wasn't mentioned?

Be certain your filter has an anti-drain-back valve (in this case an anti back flush valve). Some of the vertical mount race filters don't.

In the poorboy set up I rigged up I had a ball valve where the line taps into the oil galley to preclude back flow when the line saw engine oil pressure.
