Hi all,
Well when all else fails come to the experts.
We are rebuilding an F8B.
BUT we are having problems getting oil to circulate can you help with any suggestions.
We feel we have a good oil pump when we wind the motor over out of the car the oil pumps out of the oil switch socket but when in the car nothing bugger of a thing.

Any suggestions or help will be appreciated Son getting frustrated it been blowing smoke of months now we pulled it down and hit a snag.

Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Thanks Colin
