Hi all,
I am in the process of getting ready to start my 226 I finished a rebuild on. I turned the engine over with the starter but am not building oil pressure, even after 30 sec or so. I pulled the plate off my oil pump and there is oil in there but no signs of it in my mechanical gauge (clear tubing). Any thoughts? I have all my ports plugged so am scratching my head here. Do you need to prime these oil systems in advance to build pressure?
Thanks,
Sam
