motor build
« on: December 07, 2019, 10:57:55 AM »
Well I got the motor back to gather , which no compression before now I have between 150 and 170 . But here is the problem I have a new oil pump and it will not prime any ideas , at first I thought I screwed up which happens a lot . Took it back apart checked the gaskets check pick up tube and the screen , could not find anything wrong . still will not pick up . I packed it with grease nothing . Now while it was out I set the pump in some oil and tried it and it pumped good in the bucket, help needed .

Are you turning it the correct way? Don't wanna sound condesending but it happens.

Friend said check the oil galley plugs behind camshaft gear. Were they removed?
