Default Oil circulator

It's not my daily driver and spends alot of time in the garage. I'm trying to keep metal to metal wear to a minimum esp. during startup. Any tips on priming the engine prior to starting or if there if a oil circulator available for cars like the Z?

Thanks, Rich in MN

The filters are chk valved---If ur running a good synthetic there just is not a problem with start up so long as u keep it under 10 Grand.
Really though, u have almost instantanious pick up and the Z uses an oil squirter on the rods, so dont worry.

Just warm up the car before putting too much of a load on it. The Z is my daily driver so I always drive under 3k rpm in the mornings until I reach normal operating temps and then put a bit more load on it.

Accusump makes oil accumulators which inject high pressure oil into the oil circulation path to prime the engine prior to starting. Nice units, that can be had with manual or electric (auto) valving components.
