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? |

I used a turkey baster to squirt some oil up into the pickup tube. Put my drain pan under the open sump, and just kept squirting oil up into the pickup. Got tired of that, buttoned it all back up again, re-filled with oil. The oil light went out in about 10 seconds worth of cranking.
I was very relieved. --DD |
