[Healeys] Oil Pressure on a rebuilt engine

[Bluehealey]

The final oil circulation check is to make sure oil is appearing at the rockers too. The small union on top of the head, that the banjo pipe connects to, can get blocked when the head is being handled with no valves in it.
Otherwise all sounds good to go.

Replaced the filter and ran the starter for about 30 seconds and oil began to come out of the flex hose to the pressure gauge.  Replaced the hose and tightened it.  Ran the starter for about 10 seconds and pressure showed on the gauge.  Checked all the lines and filter for leakage and then ran the starter until the pressure was at 40 psi and holding.

Will do a final walk around and run the starter with spark plugs and try to fire the engine after I get a fan belt.  I discovered the local parts stores do not know that our old cars use a classic fan belt with an A in front of number of inches as our dimensions on the top is ½ inch and bottom is 3/8 inch whereas there stock is for much smaller serpentine belts. They would have to special order it, so I ordered one form Moss along with a few bits and pieces.
