So I have read as many articles as I could find and watched all the videos on the topic of engine pre-oilers. There is a guy on YouTube who added one to his 18 expedition and it worked great.
I am seriously thinking of adding one but I want to devise a way that I could activate the pre-oiler before remotely so I can use my remote start still. Methods previously employed require a switch to activate it first and then shut off manually when pressure is normalized.
Anyone have any documentation of how the remote start works (ie wiring diagram and signals sent)? I was thinking I could have the remote start trigger a relay that would activate the preoiler but also somehow pause the actual start of engine for a few seconds while oil got to where it needed to go.
If anyone has also thought about this could you share your ideas. I love my expedition but if cam phasers keep failing it won't make it past my warranty period and I am not paying full price for a 22.
Thanks in advance.
