- I have been restoring my 1980 MGB since last April. When I cranked it over for the 1st time I could not get any oil pressure. When I looked at the engine last summer, the oil pump clearances were wel

- You're not going to get any appreciable oil pressure just cranking the engine over on the starter. Once you start the engine, oil pressure should come up within a few seconds. If it doesn't, *then* y

- My MGA 1500 engine will get up to operating pressure on just the starter alone. Not immediately -- it does take a significant amount of cranking, but it gets there! Simon

- Plan on 40 to 45 seconds of cranking with plugs removed to see first oil pressure on the gauge (a little quicker if you fill the oil filter first). If it hasn't happened in one minute of cranking, it

- It will take several minutes of intermittant cranking to build oil pressure. It may help to introduce oil in the rearmost oil cooler entry point. Disconnect the hose and fill it up. You do want to b

- Did the engine develop pressure last summer, or is this first time you have tried since rebuilding it? If engine was running in April, and pressure was OK then, than given enough time it will probab

- If you still have no oil pressure following the advice given about cranking without spark plugs. Drop us a line and we can go to the next level. The B oil pump doesn't have much of a problem picking

- Never had a problem with my V8, just packed the pump with Vaseline as recommended and it delivered oil within a few turns. the V8 is even better because you can remove the distributor and put a drill
