Oil pump priming
I've just filled the engine with oil & thought it would be best to circulate some of it through the system seeing as it hasn't had any in for about 8 months now.
In total I must have cranked the engine for 5 minutes, and still have not got any oil showing at the filter.
When I altered the pickup & sump I cut 25mm from each part. Have about 3-5mm of clearance between the pickup & bottom of the sump.
I've tried squirting oil in through the pressure relief valve, oil filter ports, still nothing.
What have others done? Would you just fill the filter & start the engine and see if oil light goes out?
Pain having to split engine & box again to get to the rearmost sump bolts.
Cheers
Dave
