New motor question Oil pump up

[krasselt21]

Just got my motor back and all together. is there a way to pump the engine up is these to make sure there is oil every where before it starts

No the pump is driven off the crank, Only thing you can do is disable starting but unhooking the fuel pump relay or similar. There is a place on the front of the oil cooler housing to put a gauge but its very hard to get to.

Usually tho by the time you get all the air out of the fuel system the engine oil will be flowing

If assembled with a good assembly lube, no need to prime. Within 15 seconds of cranking everything should be seeing oil. It'll take 2x that for fuel to build up..

You'll more than get oil pressure up cranking it to get air out of the fuel system. As long as you used good assembly lube you'll be fine.
