ok, so i been reading around a bit. we had a hmt meet, where we put the teg engine back together and back in the car.

everything is pretty much slapped on now. (misplaced bolts/nuts, school, and work slowed me down)

so anywho, i have to prime the oil pump? err, so i crank the engine, with the fuse pulled to get oil going or what? whats the deal?

 

Just unplug the dizzy and crank for about 30 seconds.

 

did you use white grease on the pump gears?


Why not?

 

pull the plugs, and crank the bitch.

 

i did. go back to the other thread

 

x2. Remove plugs for less load, unplug dizzy and remove ECU fuse.

crank over until oil light shuts off. Then fire it up!

 

Why did you bump a thread from 10 days ago to restate the obvious? :1

 

I just pulled the ecu, that way Im not washing down my fresh hone with a ---- ton of gas. ANd can crank on it all I want.

 

Did you actually read over each reply?

No one mentioned any fuel issue. Last thing you want when firing up a new engine are dry internals and washed out cylinders.

This may be obvious to such veteran engine builders as yourself, but not to the OP.

10 days is not that long....it's only twice as long as your period.

 

Yes, I did read each reply. You have had an account here for quite some time. Which means you should know that unplugging the dizzy means no crank signal to the ecu, which means no injectors are spraying into the cyl.

I apologize if you feel like this guy needs his hand held through this process, but fact is I was not incorrect. I have built plenty of engines priming them by doing nothing more than unplugging the dizzy. It hurts nothing.

I get tired of repeating this because it sounds arrogant, which is not my goal, but heres the short version.

Im a Master certified Porsche tech. I know what the ---- im talking about.
