[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16274710, member: 181885"] It's a gerotor pump which has a crazy mechanical/volumetric advantage... [i]We didn't/shouldn't use the crank method for initial oil priming on first startup, you are totally correct there[/i]. But, just sitting around, it hasn't drained to a "dry start" point in reality. OP, DSG2003Mach1's advice here is correct. If you want to go the extra mile and really prime that thing, do what he is saying here with an external pump. Otherwise, a few extra seconds cranking to get the fluids moving before startup is still far better off than a hail-mary start. For the record, I had a Modular Performance (Tymensky) MP2000 5.4 shortblock, built to the absolute max. We followed the instructions on startup "to a t." But in OP's case, it's more of a prolonged start than an initial dry prime. All things considered, idle speed isn't ideal for total lubrication either. Every time you start an engine, it has a period of time where there isn't an adequate film thickness or pressure yet the assembly is rotating. That's just life. We just try to minimize it. [/QUOTE]
