So far my 4.0 SOHC only makes the timing chain rattle upon initial startup and only then if it's been sitting for a few hours and the oil pressure has leaked off past the recall kit installed check rod. So I've been thinking about installing a pre oiler to pressurize the timing chain guides before startup to hopefully keep them from self destructing.
Few company's I have looked at but most are very similar. Biggest difference I see is that some have a piston inside the canister and some use a bladder. Clicky. They recommend installing them with a T fitting where the oil pressure sending unit is but after some reading I'm not sure this is the prime location.
So then I got the idea to install one of these. Clicky. It should allow me to hook the pre oiler between the oil filter and the motor. Wouldn't this be a better location as the oil filter should have a check valve in it so that when the pre oiler is activated it will only allow oil to flow into the motor.
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.
