I didn't really mean at this very second or here but in the next 5 mins would do nicely.[bigrolf]


Thanks, I look forward to it when you can tear yourself away from looking at all those crappy cold/hot/oily things..

Last time I looked Cuppa is not who I saw in the mirror. What were we saying about senility?

Not sure who you saw but when I looked I saw me just as handsome & blue eyed as ever.[bigrolf]



Sorry about that, just a minor slip of the axe.

Spectacles? No no dear boy, they would really bugger up the image especially Horn Rimmed ones, they would make me appear like a bookworm rather than a Sex God. [bigrolf]

Getting back on topic….

After a week of no use, I estimate the time for oil light to go out is around 4 seconds. This is comparable to the time it takes to refill the oil filter after an oil change.

My oil pump was upgraded when I did the timing belt.

A check valve on the oil pump, or a way to pre-charge the oil system would be nice.

Don't sweat it.

There's enough of an oil film to have an instant hydrodynamic wedge of oil as soon as the crank starts to rotate.

The pressure and volume from the pump stop the oil overheating, and replace what is squeezed out the side of the journal.
It doesn't all disappear in a couple of seconds.
