A couple posts in the last day or so have mentioned priming the oil pump
before buttoning everything back together. I will be facing that in the near
future for my TR-250. (if my TRF order ever arrives - I emailed it to Dana
Henry's Compuserve account - anybody seen or talked with him???). It seems
to me that simply sticking the nose of the oil pump in a small pail of
(clean) oil, then hand turning the engine before reinstalling the oil
pan. Is it as easy as that? How can you tell when everything is filled? does
oil gush out everywhere?
Thx,
