guido Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 After having had the engine out, the sump off and a new oil filter installed, in order to cure my stuck clutch, all is now together again and I'm ready to start up. After having cranked the motor on the starter with no spark plugs, the oil light is still on. Do you have to prime the oil pump, or will it prime itself? Any sure signs of oil pressure besides the light and measuring equipment which I don't have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nogbad Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Did you fill the new filter with oil before screwing it into place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One easy way to check is to remove a valve cover and see if oil is being pumped up to the rockers. If all you did is pull the sump & filter, everything is probably fine.
