hi just after a bit of a heads up. i havent start my rebuild yet, i am just after some opinions on how to build up the oil pressure. i didnt prepack the oil pump, i am presuming the oil pump will pick the oil up ok. how much cranking should it take to build up pressure. any thoughts would be great cheers
As long as you lube everything during the build then that will hold till the pump picks up the main flow.
yep very well lubricated with preassembly lube, just after a rough time frame that would be expected.
You can pull the fuel pump relay n crank for about 20 seconds or so just till you get some movement on the oil pressure gauge and then fire it up. If it's all lubed don't be too concerned.
