    most engine wear is from initial start up (on the bearings for the most part, also lifters) , if you prime a dry sump system before you start it after a week, it will indeed help, we have torn down several engines, and the ones that use the primer have better looking bearings after 1200-1400 laps, we've even thought about just re-ringing one and giving it a try, but better judgement got the best of us, but i do think it could be tried with success, we just didn't want to take the chance

      defenetly gonna help and I think if you were truly concerned about priming the motor before every week that a accumulator set up would probably be the way to go

        This is what I always use for new systems and when changing oil and filter.

          From what GRT74 has to say about priming, that Peterson device would be worth it.

          Just say no...

            I have one on my car and won't run without it. Makes it easy after changing oil and the initial start up at the track. All around I think it helps on on the minor things that could lead to bigger things. Just remember If you get one do not use your little impact on it, use a drill. The impact will damage the internal components. I have a 7/16 depwell socktet,extension, swivel and the adapter to the drill all welded together so its readily available each time.
