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 |

Just my 2 cents, but I couldn't build oil pressure with just the starter turning the motor. When I removed the oil pressure gage oil was in the boss so I figured oil was in the system since I did no priming.
Started the motor and oil pressure came to specified range immediately. I've started the motor twice and ran the cam break in procedure, but have yet to install, so the verdict is still out on my engine:) |
