Was told that this device helps eliminate engine wear at startup. Dont really have any more info, but it sounds like a good idea. Turn the key and oil is pumped to cylinders right before engine cranks over. Anybody have any info, ever hear of this? Wish I had more info to give out. Thanks in advance.

I've been to a lot of races and have seen lots of race engines, airplane engines, boat engines and, well, just engines.

In all of my years I have seen maybe two pre-lubers on all of these engines.

I read an article about these things. He said I see very few advantages to these systems and a lot of disadvantages to the system.

Pretty much how I see it. When I have an oil failure or lots of wear in my engines I will consider them. Until then, I will pass.
