Oil is not leaving the oil tank after engine rebuild, why?

Thanks for this post, I never would have thought twice about this being necessary, you guys saved me a huge headache!!

I used the suction gun method, worked great.

I'm glad if this can be of any help to others that have not done a rebuild before, and I hope that this post can save someone their engine and turbo. I hadn't done any RX-1 engine rebuild before so it was a lesson learned. My motor is alive and kicking, but it was pretty close to disaster.

Another month or so I will be taking out my motor from my Rx1. Glad I read this about the oil pressure. I honestly dont know anything about my sled..engine wise, but Im learning.
