[TR] oil pump prep

[Bob Labuz]

Peter,

I did the same thing as with bearings, pistons etc. I used engine 
assemble lube during assembly. The red stuff.

This includes the gear and shaft as well.

I have heard of some owners, using a drill to prime the pump before 
installing the drive shaft but I did not have to do that step.

After full engine assembly, I just cranked it without spark plugs until 
I saw some pressure indicated on the gauge. Once fired up and running, 
pressure was what you would expect from a fresh rebuilt engine. Plenty 
of oil in the rocker shaft.
