Spent the morning yesterday getting all the manifold and blanking plates on the engine, started it up then noticed my oil pressure light come on........
Turns out the oil stat has been bodged open and because I thought I'd have time to fill the oil cooler (some 1.6ltrs) it was still empty, until the engine decided to fill it with oil.
so with a 'dry' pump I couldn't get any oil pressure so sump off, prime the pump, refit and crank over to get oil pressure....... now repeat these steps THREE times still with no oil pressure and you'll be at where I am! oil all over the garage, the sump is about 24 bolts and in need of 6.5 ltrs of the finest blackstuff.
I've managed to prime the oil pump before with vaseline so why not these 3 times!??????
