I guess the drill has to be in reverse! I'll check my Milwakee and see if it does that, otherwise I'll be recharging batteries on the Makita!

Tech1, Glad it worked for you! My engine has been sitting with oil in it for almost two years with only an occasional turn to set the valves but I plan to add plenty of the ZDP stuff when I get to the startup event. Just for the record what is the correct direction for a SBC350? I usually set the drill for clockwise rotation but it is easy to reverse on my Craftsman 1/2" drill. I have twice reved up the device to run the oil pump just to keep things wet internally but I used clockwise rotation. Comments?

Must be why Fords are so popular in the southern hemisphere!

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
