Well I finally started FURYIOUS up Saturday for the first time in 14 months. After months of preparation & countless hours working on it. I primed the engine twice in recent months yet when the engine came to life there was no oil pressure. The lifters clanging & rattling like mad. I quickly shut it down. Rechecked everything. No problems found. Restarted it again & still no oil pressure. Pulled the dizzy & oil pump drive shaft out & tried to prime the engine & still no oil pressure. Removed the K&N oil filter & with no filter on the engine I hit the drill again. It took a few seconds before finally it spit out a lot of oil & some air. Installed a Fram filter & hit the priming drill again & it has pressure at full blast. Cut the drill RPM back half way & oil pressure drops to 10. I think I have a bad oil pump. So much for the new bearings I installed.
