Hi,

I've just finished a rebuild of my 16v IE thema motor but before its fired up I need
some oil pressure, There appears to be none at the moment at cranking speed ?.
Does the pump need priming in some way and if so whats the best way to do it ??

thanks Chris

Dear Chris,

Whats out always!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, when you rebault an old engine alwaysssssssssssssss full up the oil pump with fath old oil. Because when the oil system is empty it is lickly unpossible to get some oil presssure.
Next time always full up the system and also the oil filter with old fat oil.
