Re: Oil Pump HELP!!!
It's got to be the head gasket was put in up side down, blocking
the oil galley. When you replace them pay attention to how it's marked,
usually stamped top or front.

Re: Oil Pump HELP!!!
She did a good job overall.
Nothing like doing your first engine rebuild in a snowbank...
It is still running sweet too.
Priming it wasn't hard. Ran a tube in the oil filter base hole and
primed it that way.

Re: Oil Pump HELP!!!
Not really, Bill. Most do something like that ONCE, many do it twice,
some never learn. How the heck can you learn from your mistakes if
you never make them???
I wonder just how many in the group really understand the reference to
priming the pump you make? I thought only us old farm boys remembered
that one.

Hi Murphy,
I don't believe the cam bearing insert could block the oil galley,
we can see it is machine well out side it's surface:
