Hey all, I just rebuilt my 1987 Toyota 22R engine and got it in the truck. My question is, how many times should I have to crank the engine without the plugs in it to get oil pressure?


>>>*Typically it can take up to a couple of minutes to fill the oil gallies on a dry engine with cold oil.

I would remove the oil pump, pack it with grease or vaseline, install the plugs and start her up.

It will build pressure in seconds if it is going to. Trying to build pressure off the starter could take quite some time....*EBjr
