    Hello gurus! Newly addicted gen 2 junky here. I’m fixing to prime my brand new 3.0, and am unsure where exactly to attach my pressurized primer to the motor. Oil pump relief valve? Oil cooler fitting? Filter?

    Getting close to first fire!
    SUPER EXCITED!
    Thanks!

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 34 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 32yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    Why not just turn it over with the starter with the plug wires pulled?

    I’ve got a stack of papers with instructions to follow to keep the warranty on this motor and they are super screechy about pressure priming. BOLDED, no exceptions, specifically says not to use any method that rotates the assembly etc etc.

    After all this learning of stuff and overcoming obstacles (first time wrencher here), this is becoming the most irritating problem. SO CLOSE!
