I made mine out of 4" plastic abs pipe with end caps, a schraeder valve in the top for air, and a 1/4 turn valve in the bottom. Just use an air chuck to presurize it, your oil pressure guage will indicate about 30 lbs before you ever turn the engine over. Be very careful that you don't wait so long after turning it on that all the oil drains out and you end up starting your engine with compressed air in the galleries instead of oil!
