Wow... finally got everything all bolted up on this engine swap except for the carb. figured I'd take that opportunity to crank the engine and make sure I was getting oil pressure. Well, after cranking it intermittently for a couple minutes, I don't. Tomorrow I'm gonna take the cover off the oil pump and put some vaseline in there... (right now there's just a light coating of liquid wrench). If it's not that, all I can figure is that the gear I put on it has started spinning on the shaft, though I wouldn't think so. (pump is a new melling; pulled the gear off the old pump and put it on the new pump before installing it.) If the vaseline doesn't fix it, I guess I'll swap in the new pump I ordered today, and leave the gear on it that came on it (as much as I hate to do that). |

I always pack the oil pump with light grease before installing it. That's a trick I learned at my first wrenching job. |
