Engine builders, oil system priming

[kinger]

Got a update that the engine may be done by friday they are assembling it now but waiting on some gaskets. My driveshaft is also coming back from Ulmer with the extros pushed on so with any luck I will have my track and chaincase buttoned up on Saturday and Engine back in On Sunday and may be able to ride this beyatch soon!!

Thanks again everyone!

No oil pressure on start up

I realize this is an old post, but it got me started in the right direction just the other day when I was finally ready to fire up my Apex/Vector. The Apex motor had sat a good long time and, while it hadn't been torn into, I had the same problem (no oil flow/oil pressure) on start up.

Tried most of the ideas here with no good result. Then I remembered that the parts guy at my local dealer did a number of RX-1 and Apex turbo conversions. So, I asked him what he did.

He said, before putting any oil in, block up the right hand ski 6" to 8"; pour a quart of oil down through the hole in the cam cover; pour a quart of oil into the oil tank; let it sit for a while (I left mine sit over night); add another quart of oil to the tank; sit it back on the floor and fire it up.

Works like a charm!
