I am ready to start the new engine but........
I've been cranking the engine, but the oil light stays on. I'm pretty sure that I forgot to pack it when I assembled the engine... Any suggestions, or will I have to take the cover off the pump? Yes there is oil in it... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) How long do I crank before I get oil pressure normally? |

Cap'n;
I did what you suggested, and lots of oil leaked out in a very short time, so I guess the oil is pumping. I think the starter turns too slow to build enough pressure to put the oil light out. So you're sure it is safe to start now? I 'm a bit nervous starting up a new rebuild for the first time. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I think I'll put it off till tomorrow. I still have to install the spark plugs, and static time it for startup. I'll have to run it over 2000 rpm for 15 to 20 minutes according to web cam's instructions and I just don't feel like doing that this evening....So it's Miller time.
