How much power does it take to drive an oil pump
That is what I would like to find out.
I need to prime the oil system on my new engine. So I will connect a power meter to my drill and turn it.
See if I can get my optical tachometer working to see how fast it's turning.
For the oil I am just going to dump in a quart or 2 of 0w-20 weight oil. Just enough to cover the pickup once the oil system is primed, oil filters and oil cooler are filled.
