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.
 
On side of engine IIRC left side?
 
I see it. OMG Bill giving me Tech Tips.
 
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

Thanks Guys, later today if I get time I'll be back in the garage. Rain, Rain looks like Fireworks may be a washout today.
 
But I do get to go and see the grandkids, hey a plus any day:smile: And get fed.

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