Priming an oil pump

Does anyone know how to prime an oil pump after you install a new one?

Re: Priming an oil pump

When i install a new oil pump i usually pour about an ounce of STP oil treatment in the oil hole while turning the pump. then install the pump to the block. then i remove the oil pressure sending unit and insert a tube on the engine block oil passage with an oil hand pump and pump oil until you see it come out off the cam shaft bearing oil holes.

Re: Priming an oil pump

If you pull the dist. and get the right size nutdriverto fit the oil pump shaft, you then put the nutdriver in a drillbit extention and hook it to your drill and run it till you see oil. good luck
