<VV> Learned something...

[Bill Hubbell]

It always amazes me how we all keep re-inventing the wheel.  Anyway, it was
written up in the Communiqui years ago, and no doubt reproduced in the Tech
Guide, how to flatten one end of a push rod in your vice and then attach it
to your electric drill to prime your oil pump.  I made myself one such tool
and it works fine!
