Hey Guys,
Still having an issue getting oil pressure on my 8N, fuel, compression and spark is all good, and i have tried dens Oil pump priming methods a few times now but having no luck. Tried priming at the pressure relief valve by using an oil bottle and filling it with a thicker oil to trying and give me time to start it and put the plug back in, also tried pulling of the line at the pressure gauge and hooking a vaccum line up to it and putting oil down it and with both these methods i read oil pressure (25 psi) for a few seconds and then it drops right back off and thats all i will get. The old girl is trying to fire up as i am getting a fire, then it will turnover for a second or two, then it will fire again then keep turningover but will not start completely. I took my cap off my oil filter housing today and the new filter i put in there is bone dry, not sure if oil should be feeding through here once i get prime? Also could this be the oil pickup line in the pan that everybody talks about?
