I am getting ready to start my 230 for the first time. I made a homemade preluber from some advice I got at the job rated truck site.
It cost less than $40 to make it, as the propane tank was free. The propane companies have a lot of these old tanks with the obsolted valves.
I plumbed it into the an oil line and got it lubed all through. I primed the oil pump and Then I cranked it and got oil pressure very quickly.
I did not want to depend on assembly lube by itself and wait for the oil to be circulated by the pump.
