just had a full engine rebuild done and finally got round to starting it today so i pulled plug off dizzy and cranked it over a couple times to get oil light to go out but it wont go out so looks like oil pump not been primed propperly when was fitted

the light is meant to go out isnt it by just cranking it over????
as i dont no if it only goes out after its running???

not happy paid money to have all this done and not working

any ideas or have i got to take oil pump off

cheers

the oil light on my turbo didnt go out for a second or 2 after the engine had fired and was running.

 

I wouldn't have thought there would be enough pressure to put the light out - just by cranking the engine.

Going to be an arse clenching moment waiting for it to go out when you start it!

 

will give it a go tomorow just thought u had to crank it over first to get pressure so dont no if it needed to be running

 

Mine went out on cranking but it took a while. About 20 - 30 seconds...

 

HI,

Take plug's out give it short crank overs, around 7,sec a few times and it should prime system, give the stater motor a rest between cranks,what motor is it.
