Any thoughts about a practical way to pre-oil after overhaul of an R-16?
To assure the oil pump is primed & gets going right away.
We will be firing up the R-16 after a fresh overhaul and are looking for a
practical way to assure the oil pressure is up before running .
One idea we had was to simply crank the motor with the starter , no fuel or
ignition with the plugs removed.
I guess my question is with a new oil pump & will it pick up from the oil
pan right away or need to be primed somehow?
