Now I can,t find my note on priming the oil pump on a 948. Can someone refresh my memory please on the technique. I'll spend more time looking than just asking the list. Thanks

The earlier A series engines have a oil pump priming plug near the water jacket drain plug. Take the plug out 5/8" pour some oil in that hole.

It is easiest to use the bolt that holds the oil line that goes to the oil filter, unscrew it and just pour in the oil

+2! If you can have the car leaning a bit towards the pump that helps as well.
