No oil pressure.

<< < (6/6)

Bryanj:
Filter dont have check valve, there is a pressure relief or bypass in the bolt. Pickup is at bottom of sump.
Never had to bleed a 500/550oil pump ever, even after rebuild

Thanks Bryanj, was thinking of that center filter bolt. I am stumped why I had to prime the pump. Might need to pull the sump off and check  to make sure oil intake has the short hose connected properly.

Bryanj:
Small pipe would only affect transmission pump as  lower end would be below oil

Johnny4428:
Thanks Bryanj! Running out of ideas as to why my pump didn’t self prime. When I squirted oil into pressure switch port I certainly got three glugs of air out which I was happy to see. It’s fine now a good kick is enough to activate pressure switch. Good for another 1000 - 1500 miles.
