oh no.

What oil pressure spring do you have? A burton HP oil pump is a copy part with a 10quid spring inside for higher pressure.

What oil pressure switch do you have? A cosworth one will turn the light on below 20psi.

How long was it running for. ?









Before you start any new engine you should cover all the rockers and camshaft with oil then fit the rocker cover.

Turn by hand at least 4 or 5 turns with no spark plugs in the head.

Then turn the engine over with starter motor untill the oil is flowing all round the engine. I norm remove the oil feed pipe and put it into a plastic bottle so i can see when oil pressure is flowing well.

Then refit the plugs and oil feed etc. Start engine and warm up.


If you have no oil pressure after doing this, you would have an issue with pump, crank or some sort of pickup issue block etc..
