I made no mention at all of radial engines, those antiques of more than a half
century ago. They were not under discussion by anyone in this universe. in
rickie's universe or your universe maybe, but not this universe as the term is
used by 6,000,000,000 people.

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?



They certainly are NOT in the sump..... that single statement shows
that you have no idea about the construction of these engines. In
fact, half of the engines that you have expounded upon are dry sump
engines...... good grief...... clueless....
