Oil Pump Priming +(again!)

(1/2) > >>

philward:
I've just fitted engine/pump and although I'm no where near start up (need sump on to route CR exhaust system) I have taken the general forum advice and packed the pump with vaseline. Can the experts on pump priming confirm that you just pack all the rotors/gallery's - ie there's no special technique?
Thanks
Phil

Trigger:
From the £ shop and just pack it in before putting the pump back together.

Is this a better method than just submerging it in oil and turning it to get all the air bubbles out?

Trigger:
Oil will just run out the pump with gravity ;) Don't ask me how I know this  :) :)

bytio:
Submerge pump in oil turn it over an lift the oil stopper/leak valve (very thin screw driver) turn the pump and immediately you will see the air bubble gulp out, release the valve you will instantly feel the extra resistance, I have done this many times and learned it's the only way to get  the oil pressure up quickly
