Remove the hi pressure sensor (rear) and suing a pump oil can squirt some
oil in there. This will put some into the pump. The pump needs something to
seal the gears to the housing once it suck some oil through it will prime
and go. To get something into the bearings remove the oil filter and pump
some oil into the center pipe. If you can somewhat seal the pump oiler to
the pipe you will be able to fill the galleys and posh some oil into the
bearings.

Hello,


Finally installed this engine that I rebuilt several years ago. I have been
unsuccessful in obtaining any oil pressure. Any thoughts?
TIA,
Ken
