Quote: if you can't get your oil pump to prime up try filling the crankcase with extra oil even above the elevation of the pump then drain the extra oil when done.
there's been a couple of posts here in the last several months where guys were pulling their hair out as absolutely could not get their eng to prime. Your unthinkable tip would have done it
I heard you can take the cover off and pack the rotors full of vaseline. That will get it to prime right away. I've never tried it, but it's what I've heard.
I've done it with every build I've ever done, use just reg chassis grease. Thought it was a automatic thing to do to a new oil pump?
