Hi all
I am sure this must have been discussed before
Here is my situation.
Motor was recently built. Initial oil was SAE40 to run in for first 1000kms. My oil pressure thus far has been good.
Yesterday after warming up the engine I drained the sump let the oil all trickle out for about 30 minutes. Replaced sump plug and removed filter.
Filled filter with oil and installed. Filled sump with oil and confirmed full.
Started the engine and zero oil pressure. Had it on for a minute at idle and slight rev, switched off to check for any leaks and oil level. all good except no oil pressure.
Did this 3 times, now tappets are loud.
What have I done wrong guys.
I am using 20w50 motor oil now.
I am going to pull the pump out to pack with vaseline today but hell there has to be a easier way.
