Yes i mean vaseline. The first time a filled the pump with oil and it did not work and yes too much vaseline was 2 thick2 suck up oil but a small amount of vaseline and oil on gears worked straight away. Thanx

Any help peoples

I know this now but thanks for the Warning. It came straight of working engine so one would think it would work straight away but at least i know 4 next time.

Thanks for that. I thought that was the case but thought i would ask cause the problem i have is how is it possible that a perfectly good working oil pump that i pulled straight off running engine filled with vaso for it to be primed does not pick up oil. Was thinkin that possibly the crank flats for the oil pump were closer to the block and would cause the pump to not turn. Any thoughts?

I have a na Rb30 block with vl turbo crank rods forged pistions and vl turbo head. fresh rebuild new bearings bottom end. vl turbo oil pump fitted, test 1 start first go no oil presure/ oil at all. Test 2 change oil pump to standard oil pump, check for leaks on suction side, no leaks. engine starts no oil presure/ oil. Have removed presure switch and oil filter to prime the pump and 2 see if any oil comes out. No oil. Dose anyone know if and what the difference are between a turbo crank and a Na crank. Please any info maybe helpful.
