[Spridgets] Building oil pressure

[Wm. Severin Thompson]

Sometimes even longer.

Running an oil cooler? Fill the cooler, fill the lines, fill the oil filter.
Even fill the line going to the oil pressure gauge. They always seem to take
way longer than they should to build pressure (an I pack the pump with
Lubriplate assembly lube).

I only had one motor in about 20 that I've done fail to build pressure... we
swapped out the oil pump (it was new) and all was fine.

You need about 30-45 seconds of cranking to get some pressure.
