I am having the same problem you had with priming the oil system on a rebuild. What did you find out?
Greg
"Trying to prime a new motor, so we are cranking it over with the spark plugs out and the coil packs unplugged. Problem is we are not seeing any oil pressure on a guage we hooked into the oil filter housing.
The starter is kicking over the flywheel (finally) and the battery appears to have a strong charge. What can I do next to figure out if the oil pump is good. This is a brand new shortblock with a new high flow oil pump.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks, Mike
