all,
i installed my rebuilt motor, and before i break it in, i decided to test the oil pump.
per the instructions by sbt, i disconnect the pump, hook up the shaft to a drill, and run the drill backwards. i have the hose coming from the oil resovior in a cup of oil, to see if oil is being sucked in.
a) i don't see oil being sucked in.
b) i disconnected one of the three hoses coming out of the pump, and didn't see oil coming out.
pre-mixing is a pain (in my opinion), but it sounds like it's probably the cause of my initial engine failure.
i know the kit to remove the oil pump is only $20., but it looks like simply a block off plate that covers where the oil pump is suppose to be mounted. where would i bolt all the other lines connected to the oil pump?
thanks.
