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 |

Fire up and shut down 5 times in succession. Let it run less than 1 second and shut it off.
I always pack the oil pump full of vaseline when assembling and the engine will usually get OP in 5 seconds. |
