We are about to fire a new 2056 and have tried to pump oil through the system prior to igniting. I have pulled the spark plugs and hooked up an oil pressure gauge. I can crank the starter for 30 seconds or so, but nothing registering on the gauge? More cranking?
Thanks |

My 2056 build would not produce oil pressure like you're attempting.
I pulled to cover off the pump to discover the pump was DRY !! (I was set-up to do a cam break-in on a garage floor rig so access was easy) I finally discovered that the oil strainer in the sump had collapsed to cover the inlet suction tube. Fixing that cured the problem quickly. I had plenty of break-in lube on all bearings & cam lobes, so everything worked out OK. |
