Hello,
First time around, after sitting a year, I needed to prime the oil pump with a favorable result of good oil pressure reading. I kept starting it every 2 months and continued to get pressure except this last time nothing. It sat another year, tried the priming again, but apparently did not do the trick as no pressure. I did disconnect the tube at the gauge but nothing coming out. When I changed oil for the first time about a year ago, it was clean oil and saw/felt that the pick up tube was intact. What would be me next steps? If you say drop the oil pan to get to the pump, well, okay, I've never done anything like that so is that a job for a novice or not? thanks to you all.
