oil pump (again)
OK, guys. I know I have raised similar issues before, but I can't find
the relevant past responses in the archives.
Over the weekend I dropped the oil pan and replaced all 9 quarts of
oil, and repaired the little float that marks the oil level while I was
at it.
When I put everything back together, I couldn't get any oil pressure
reading.
I have tried priming the pump by removing the top cap and pouring in a
half cup or so of oil. No luck. I have checked to make sure I didn't
somehow block the intake in the oil sump. It's clear (that is, I can
suction up oil with ease using my mouth as a suction device (phewwey!)
What am I missing? This pump was working great before I did the oil
change.
