[QUOTE="oldmodman, post: 9985202, member: 10303"] I primed a new motor by filling up a garden sprayer (2 gallon) with oil and pumping it in the hole where the oil pressure sender goes. I pumped all 8 quarts into the engine, drained the oil back out, filtered it, and pumped it back through a second time. Drained it again and refilled with fresh oil then started it (after reinstalling the oil pressure sender). Had oil pressure instantly. And since this was just helping out a friend that had installed a shortblock from Ford I have no idea how the stock oil pump was prepared. But if I was building the engine I would have also packed the new oil pump with grease before installing it. [/QUOTE]
