lack of oil pressure!
i brought a recon 1600 cvh engine, finally got it fitted but turned it over but cant get any oil pressure! think it may be the builder never primed
the oil pump. is there a way of priming it through the oil filter or pressure switch or is it just a case of keep turning the engine over and hope for
the best? thanks

I dont think he wants to sell - more swap his low oil pressure for good oil pressure

If you believe you're not crazy, whilst everybody is telling you, you are - then they are definitely wrong!
