anybody know how to prime a 5kt oil pump?
I just put the head back on my 5kt, and would like to pump some oil through
the motor before starting it. The turbo bearing is dry and has been the
whole time the car has been down. The PO said it sat for at least six
months.
I tried cranking it with the plugs out and fuel pump relay dc'd.
Couldn't get any pressure. Then I pulled the pressure senders out of the
block and squirted oil down the galleys. I knew this would work, as it
always did in my sirocco and golf.
To my dismay, still nothing. There is oil on the dipstick and the pump must
be turning, as it drives off the crankshaft, right?
Any ideas on how to get this thing primed would be appreciated.
Please pmail, TIA...
