Yeah, the Service Manual (which I didn't have with me last night) says "always prime the oil pump" but it doesn't tell you how.
I'm going to have to look into the "pack the pump with vaseline" method a bit further.
Right now I'm just praying that I didn't ruin the engine. I think it's just the oil pump that's noisy right now, and not anything else. Hopefully I'm right.
Without an oil pressure gauge, and with the oil pump and pickup fully concealed in the block and oil pan, how do I even know if I have oil pressure???
