Filling the Crank with engine oil ?

Forums

Although I spent what seemed like a lifetime pouring minute amounts of engine oil into the crank from the tiny hole on the end of the timing side I`m asking how everyone else does it ? Is there a better way ? I first did it when building the engine with it on it`s side . It`s now together and in the frame but I`d like to make sure it`s full .Engine and gearbox in

I adapted my grease gun to the end spigot of the crank with pieces of tube and Jubilee clips until a decent pressure was felt as I was pumping it in and satisfied myself that all was as full as it was going to be. All this to be done as the last part of the rebuild to lessen the time for oil to drain away before actually starting the motor.
Some folks have adapted the rocker feed port for the same effect.
