Default Insta lube kit engine prelube xkr vvt


I came across the above links whilst researching VVT rattles and noises. The man responsible puts together a very well reasoned explanation for the use of an engine pre lube system. In this case he uses an INSTA-LUBE kit. I would like to follow his lead and try this myself, but have not been able to source a current supplier. The creator of the videos is based in the USA and sourced his kit there. I am UK based and can not find anything suitable. Can anyone provide advice on a current supplier of INSTA - LUBE or an alternative. Many Thanks

At first I assumed it was a pre oiler, similar to old tractor oilers. But it looks like a pressurizer (sp)? I don't want to watch all the videos.
The person behind the videos is named Richard Astley. Rick Astley! Never gonna give you up........now that song is in your head, you're welcome!
