ok all of you yak and CJ experts, I'm looking for any pointers you might
have out
there. I'm getting ready to crank up a new M14 just installed on my CJ.
Hopefully
monday or tuesday. I have a great mechanic that has done a great job,
but never hurts to ask others with experience. Mainly wanting to find
out if
there are any speacial oil pump priming proceedures that we do not know
about.
Michael,
FWIW, it is probably a good idea to pour a couple qts of oil into the
engine case screw off cap (wrong name I'm sure), next to the oil
breather mushroom, right behind the number 1 cylinder. I believe that
allows oil to flow internally in the engine to reach the oil pump to
ensure it is primed at start.
I have seen before, after an oil change where the oil was left to drain
for several days as other issues were worked, no oil pressure at start.
Tried several starts with a few seconds of run time and could not get
oil pressure. A few qts poured in the top of the engine was an instant
cure.
Cheers,
Steve Dalton
