Re: Flathead pre-oiler - good, bad and the ugly?
A pre oiler is an excellent idea. Prior to starting the Ford flathead engine's I run in our very fast race car I use what's called an Accusump to always first get oil pressure up prior to firing the engine. Its similar to the system you built.
The added bonus to the Accusump system is if there's a loss of oil pressure the charged 3 quart chamber will supply oil to the engine to help it survive.
