Engine rebuilt and almost ready to start, but not quite! I have read previous posts ( Healey forum) about the oil line and pressure, and have turned over the engine with no plugs, but get no reading on the OP gauge. Apparently there is no need to bleed it, and it has a new line. There was good pressure when I took it apart 20 years ago (!). I used appropriate assembly lubricant as I put it together, but cannot remember what it was. (Another (!))
As far as I can tell the pump is engaged properly. The shaft dropped in quite distinctly.
How long do I crank before the pressure should rise or am I missing something potentially drastic?
Is it worth trying to fill the system through the OP line?
Or do I worry too much?:apologetic:
