gene, oil pumps (on the engines under discussion) sit in the oil sump bathed in
oil. They are ready to pump oil on rev #1.

How about having enough experience to know that outside of a
theoretically perfect pump, that the pump is not primed and won't be
so without spinning it fast enough?

How about all the parts in the engine being motored over that run dry
until you are spinning the engine over fast enough to splash the oil ?

which parts is that? The pistons?

the cylinders have an oil film on them to begin with. the bearings requiring
pressure oil do not have pressure oil to them until they have pressure oil to
them, which they can't get until the galleys are first full of oil and then
pressurized.

you were supposed to have learned this well before you got that license you
brag about having.

the pump is not primed and won't be
so without spinning it fast enough?

you obviously don't have a clew how oil pumps have been engineered on ic
engines for the last 110 years.

the pump is not 100% positive
displacement

oh, it is negative displacement what % of the time?

Not bragging Jax.

yeah you are, and about a license a savy 18 year old kid could get.

How about sour grapes because you didn't get the same certification
that your 18 year old friend got?

I was studying physics when I was 18.

No training, no age requirement, no skill level, no standard of
competence.........

At age 12, I was being paid to repair engines that men my father's and
grandfather's ages were unable or willing repair.

Fixing engines is easy. Knowing what to fix is the hard part. For most
people.

Hey moron, you might want to check and see where the oil pumps on
Lycoming and Continental flat engines are located.

What a freakin' moron you are Jax. Care to add more proof that you have
no clue whatsoever about aircraft engines?

Bwahahahahahahahahaha Loser wannabe loses again!

Rick

don't prelube an engine, rickie. hammer mechanics don't, why should you? race
car drivers have done it for decades, motorcycle racers have done it for
decades, aircraft owners have done it for decades, the US Navy has required it
for decades ..........

...... but they live in a rational universe unknown to you.

Hey moron, you didn't address the point did you ... so what else is new.
You claimed that the oil pumps were submerged in oil like a car
engine and you were once more shown to be an ignorant fool ****tling
along about stuff you have no clue about.

There are a few truisms he

1) Jax is a moron.

2) Pulling a prop through does not prelube the engine.

3) Jax doesn't know squat about aircraft engines or much else either.

4) Jax is a moron.

Rick

gene, you are incoherent.
