New oil cooler Do you prime?

[SCARAB3DMC]

I installed new oil cooler do I need to prime before starting ? or will the oil pump fill it?

While the oil pump is filling all those lines with oil, it's feeding air to your bearings. Pull the dirstributor and run the pre-luber. Plusd you get the added benefit of doing a lea check.

It is also easy to just fill your cooler up to your thermostat (before you prime), Heck you can even prefill your lines. :)

PRIME IT! The piece of mind alone will be worth the effort and time
