hi all.
ive just finished rebuilding my old a12 and it appears i have no oil pressure.
before i put the motor together i striped down the oil pump and made sure it was in good condition.
do i need to prime it some how ? or will it pick up the oil if i start the engine?
ps. i did fill the oil pump prior to instal .

thanks i just bought the tomi light weight ones. thanks for the help

yeah they were rusted quite badly. like to the point that they are mostly just rust .
so i need some new ones i think .
the Nissan dealer is unsure if he can even get them so im stuck as to what i should do .

76-Datto, would you consider selling them ? ..
I need a full set of 8 mine went rusty in storage :(

hi all im trying to locate a set of push rods for an a12.
or the specs of the standard push rods . any info will be helpful. thanks :)
