Engine 2.0 76
Rebuilt engine and should start it today. Pulled the plugs and filled oil. Cranked engine to get oil pressure but nothing. Pulled pressure switch and tested with compressed air works fine. Loosened oil filter and cranked again oil ran from filter, tightened filter and tried again.... Nothing. Oil type 20W 50 Need some advice on what to check to find source or problem.... It's just a Pita |

It seems to take forever for a fresh T4 to get oil pressure.
Was the oil cooler new? Are you sure the big oil pressure piston is in place? It just occurred to me that 'pinning' the big oil pressure relief piston shut might improve oil filling time. High oil pressure will bleed off back to the sump... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Yes the oil cooler is new. The piston moved freely when I installed it and I even installed the spring, joking aside I appreciate the help What you mean is that the oil cold and at high pressure so is being diverted by the pressure piston and is therefore not building pressure under the idiot sender? |
