curtish57 Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 As the title implies this good be really bad or a nothing burger I guess. Here's the story, went out to prime my 454 build, still yet to be broke in I am working on it hopefully this or next weekend I'll be ready. Anyway I put oil in it, put the tool down and engaged the oil pump no problem but then I'm an idiot and had the drill in counterclockwise rotation. So I spun it and all I heard was some kinda splashing or cavitation maybe but no pressure obviously. Then I removed my head from my third point of contact and I got tons of pressure and it builds immediately. So aside from my brain fart it went very well, no leaks or other issues. I don't have the knowledge or experience to know if running the oil pump backwards did anything or not. I would very much appreciate any advice has on this or am I worrying about nothing? 1 Quote
jft69z Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 It's fine, nothing to worry about. All you did was churn up the oil with a little air. Let it settle down a while before starting, all good. 4 Quote
