Oil Pressure & restart after oil pump overhall

Posted by 1stpackard On 2011/2/13 13:17:49

Our 1936 packard 12 cyl sedan had low oil pressure10-15 lbs but otherwise runs well. The engine apears to be original and unmolested but who knowes.

The oil pump was removed, disassembled and found to be within the tolerances specified in the manual.The pump was reassembled with new gaskets and reinstalled. The oil filter was full of crap and we addressed this.

Before restarting the car is there a procedure for priming the pump etc?
