shane: can you get to and turn the drive shaft of the pump without cranking the motor (displays total ignorance of 3S motors here)?
reason i ask is that with a
-super-long screw-driver bit (e.g. about 12" long) on a hi-torque slow-speed drill
-dizzi removed
you can crank the 18R oil pump without turning the engine. bottom of the dizzi runs the pump, so with dizzi out you can turn pump. I did this before 1st run of the 18RT so only thing i had to worry about was the (very out of postition) ignition timing.
I know some engines wrap the oil pump around or just next to the front of the crank - making this impossible - but if you can run the pump with a drill, you're not going to risk things like dry main bearings, dry rings on new bores etc.
cheers,
Charles
