Morning Greg

I used that black moly Di sulfide Assembly Grease, it is spoz to stay there and protect things longer than anything else. Aley swore "only put ATF in the cylinders walls, "NO grease on the rings" according to him.

You should be able to access the top of the oil pump drive shaft with a drill motor but I think with things "lathered" up with assembly lub , moving parts are protected untill the oil pressure comes up before she lights off. Anyway that was Aleys procedure.
