rynicolson Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Just fitted Mutley's replacement sump... having dinged it in July before I went to the Arctic... all done and dusted and oiled up... but not started due to leaving car keys on mainland... anything I should do b4 firing up - bearing in mind it has been oilless (as in drained from sump - not the apollo in July, for that period..... FWIW I replaced baffle, sump, gasket and drained the Apollo today.... and no leakes when refilled - Only filled with 6 L until I run the engine when I will top up. thx in advance.

Wrightpayne Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Oily's gasket mod!! Plugs out, unplug crank sensor and spin over till you get oil pressure. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revilla Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 @Wrightpayne - As a slight aside, why uplug the crank sensor? Is this because without a crank sensor signal the ECU won't try to drive the ignition and injection systems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ah that will be the Heineken effect!! I do the sensor bit when I cannot be bothered to take the plugs out. 😬 Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankee Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 I take the plugs out and unplug the inertia switch when I do the cranking for oil pressure thing. More than one way to do many things, car-related or otherwise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
