Hi Jim,

I have a question, How are you going to get to the oil pump inlet?  I
don't recall a prime plug, is there a way to prime this pump that I
don't know of?  Mine is covered by a plate on the back of the engine, I
cant get to it without pulling the engine.  Are you going to fill
through the pressure relief valve?

Sorry just wondering as I'm almost at this stage and I don't want to
hurt my new engine.
