Default Anyone know how an oil pump draws a prime?

JAX,
Do you have a car? How do you "prelube" it? Put a socket and rachet on
the crank pully and pull it through several times before starting?

nah, gene, **you** said an engine should not be prelubed.

*I* said if you don't, it can take upwards of 30 to 60 seconds for cold oil
under pressure to reach the last of the bearings requiring pressure oil.

That is a fact, gene, and if your ears were any good you would know that, or if
you understood what goes on in a engine you would know why they happens.

gene, you are a hammer mechanic.
