I am sure that others will have something to say about this, but my =
paranoia has led me always crank the engine, spark plugs removed, until =
I got some oil pressure following an oil change. I made a simple wiring =
harness that lets me connect (with a pushbutton) the starter solenoid =
directly to 12 V so that nothing else in the car is powered. With no =
compression, it cranks quite easily and when you (finally) prime the oil =
pump, you can hear the cranking speed drop a bit. It can take more than =
a minute in my experience.

Subject: [Healeys] No oil pressure
=20
This morning I drained my old engine oil on my 100 and replaced the oil =
filter, then refilled the sump to the correct level and restarted the =
engine to check for oil pressure.
=20
After several seconds I became concerned when the oil pressure gauge =
needle stayed pegged. I also have a low oil pressure warning light, the =
sender for which is mounted to the block at the point where the flex =
hose normally attaches and it is staying lit. =20
=20
By this time I had run the engine for at least 30 seconds and was =
becoming very concered, so I shut it down, removed the valve cover and =
disconnected the banjo bolt going to the rocker shaft, then restarted =
the engine--no oil is coming out of the bolt.
=20
Thinking that perhaps the oil pump lost prime I removed the flex hose =
from the coiled copper pipe gong to the oil pressure gauge and back-fed =
some engine oil, then reattached the hose to the line but on restarting =
again nothing has changed.
=20
Though this has never happened before I have heard of oil pumps not =
repriming themselves and/or taking a while to do so after an oil change. =
I have already run the engine for at least a minute in the several =
restarts and am frankly concerned that serious damage may have already =
happened.
=20
Any thoughts or suggestions will be appreciated.
