But I needed to replace the oil cooler that had developed a crack on its mounting bracket. I located another cooler from the list and installed it last week. Then it was time to start the engine - but first I had to get the oil flowing by turning the engine with the starter. I had insured that the pump was primed, and both the filter and cooler were filled with oil when I installed them to speed the process up. But after cranking for what seemed an excessive period of time with no oil pressure, I started to worry. I could see oil was moving because the level in the sump had decreased a far bit but nothing was coming out of the oil pressure hose. So I stopped for the day/weekend. Research on the Internet indicated that in fact, the process can be very slow getting the oil through so I resumed the process again last Saturday. Another 30 seconds or so of cranking and I got oil pressure. Then it was time to hook up the ignition system and start it - as soon as I turned the key, it fired right up, idling at 60 psi. I let it run for 20 minutes at 2000 rpm to seat the tappets and had to tighten a few fittings (had slight leak from temp sender and slight seep on oil cooler fitting). So its close to returning to the road - just need a few short test drives around the neighborhood but hopefully the car will be back on the Washington State University campus later this week after almost a year absence. (I drove the 72B in today, it will be about 90 F on the top down cruise home this afternoon)<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433760563740_24548"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1433760563740_24549">David Councill</div><div>64 B</div><div>67 BGT</div><div>72 B<br></div></span></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br><br><a ymailto="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net" href="mailto:Mgs@autox.team.net">Mgs@autox.team.net</a><br>Donate: <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/archive" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/archive</a><br>Forums: <a href="http://www.team.net/forums" target="_blank">http://www.team.net/forums</a><br>Unsubscribe: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/d_dibiase@yahoo.com" target="_blank">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/mgs/d_dibiase@yahoo.com</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
