I recall 110-115 revolutions on a hand driven gear pump to prelube a Fairbanks Morse ND81/8 prior to snorkeling. Have lift pumps on some giant AC motors (>20,000 Hp) and refiners with journal bearings at a mill I worked in. No need to have on my truck or boat. One of those things that are a great idea, but probably less so in actual practice.
