Big-Block Chevy: Here’s the hot tips for how to install the oil pump pickup tube and screen on the right way.

This is our homemade pressure pre-luber using a 1/2-inch drill motor to drive a small-block Chevy oil pump. We also drain the oil back to the pump from the oil pan.

If you’d rather build your own pressure pre-luber, we built one using a hardware store 2 1/2-gallon bucket, a small-block Chevy oil pump, hoses, fittings, and some scrap aluminum plate.
