[Es2] Hey ben.

Hi Josh,

I'm currently using the stock 200 cooler I got with the donor car. No
visible leaks at all. I do have an RS2 cooler on the way though. I agree
with you about it probably being a little thing that I've overlooked. I'm
wondering if I prepared the engine properly before its inaugural start-up.
In other words, I wonder if the engine was properly primed. I only pre-oiled
the turbo and nothing else. Perhaps the oil pump, oil cooler and filter
should have been pre-filled as well. Maybe this has caused an air lock in
the system? Although, you'd think that if there was in fact an air lock that
it would have worked itself out after a couple of minutes of running?
Do you know of a procedure to properly prime a "new" engine before its
initial start-up?

Ben
