Folks,
Does anyone have a surefire way to prime the oil pump after a
rebuild? I packed the new pump with vasoline and tried to spin it with the
starter and never saw oil pressure. Does anyone know of a tool to spin the
oilpump driveshaft with a drill (short of notching an old screwdriver)?
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,
If you packed the pump with vasoline and still get no
pressure then something is WRONG! I installed a new
pump last winter and applied a light layer of assembly
lube and got instant oil pressure.
Either the pump isn't turning or it is sucking air.
Is the camshaft turning? Is the drive gear in place?
