I saw it over there and think it looks good. Face it, a lot of those guys are clueless when it comes to stuff like this, preferring rather Rambler station wagons and clapped out '53 Chevrolets 4 gaters. It's all part of "engaging the next generation".

Your gizmo looks well thought out and should work fine. I doubt if there is a pint of empty space left in the entire lubrication system, so just go easy and stop when you strike oil.
