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 |

I would fire it for a second. Then Pull the coil wire and see if the light goes out when cranking it with the starter. Is your battery fully charged? Engine cranking normally?

The light goes out when the wire is pulled. I have put the battery on charge. There is oil in the gallery so I guess the pump is working. I will see if I can get pressure with a fresh battery. I may just throw caution to the wind and fire it up, I don't really see what my other options are? As you will understand I am a bit anxious as I have been rebuilding the engine since september and have put a lot of work and $ into it. The thought of it seizing is just too much. |
