I need some serious help I just tried to start my freshly built h22 and it's not getting oil.

 

Anybody know the amount of cranks it takes to prime the oil pump on a fresh build?

 

lemme state the obvious.

Have you checked to see the oil pump is clogged?

 

how can I check

 

First off how do you know your pump isnt working? Are you getting an oil light?

Second is the whole motor new parts or old parts?

Who did the build?

 

XES did the build, and im not sure if they are new parts or not im assuming they are used, I have an oil pressure gauge and my oil feed to my turbo is dry.

 

So than your Turbo isnt getting any oil.

If you have no oil pressure, well that cant be good.

Id call said builder and let them know whats going on.

Hopefully your just not using the oil pressure gauge right.

You can however, if your feeling really spirited, pull the oil pan off and check the oil feed tube inside the motor.

 

Yeah i sent him a pm, and i know the oil pressure gauge is working because thats been on my car and the oil feed line is off the same tap, and the oil feed is off of my other h22 that worked so i can really only be the oil pump i think.
