I replaced a 93 engine (180k) with a 90 engine (160k). It is supposed to be only a temporary situation so I can rebuild the 93 engine at my liesure, but the 90 has 175 pounds of compression, so I figure I can take my time. I did replace the head gaskets and timing chain for the heck of it, but other than that, I did bascially nothing else. I did pull the oil pump apart though and forgot to prime it before I reassembled everything.
My question is whether or not the unprimed pump will prime itself and if it won't will putting oil down the sending unit fitting prime it?
Thanks in advance for any help.
