I am helping a friend attempting to start a newly rebuilt engine. I have removed the plugs and turning the engine with the gear reduction starter trying to establish oil flow/detection. I have cranked the engine approximately 7 times for about 10 seconds each try and I have no oil coming out the flex line to the oil pressure gauge. I'm starting to get a little worried. The oil level has gone down from full line to half way between full and add lines. I think this is the result of filling the oil filter so I think I might have some flow. Should I continue turning the engine over? Am I being a little too cautious? Is there a better way of turning the oil pump? Thanks for your help and have a good day!
