jkmason Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi everyone, my son and I just finished replacing timing belt, water pump, oil pump O Ring seal, cam and crank seals on his 1996 Subaru Legacy 2.2. We took the oil pump apart and reassembled. We started it up this afternoon and it ran like a champ. However, there appears to be no oil pressure. The idiot light is on and when I took the oil filter off, it's dry. We ran it for about 3 minutes. Can someone tell me how long it takes for the oil pressure to come up?? Thanks!

Tiny Clark Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 No more than a few seconds, especially if you fill the filter first. This doesn't sound good. Are you sure you didn't block an channel on reassembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkmason Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi, I didn't fill the oil filter. I looked over the oil pump diagram and went over our assembly procedure. I can't think of any mistakes. I guess I'll tear it back down tomorrow morning and see what we screwed up. No more than a few seconds, especially if you fill the filter first.

jkmason Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 I figured out the problem ~ pretty stupid! I put the pressure relief valve in backwards. Hi, I didn't fill the oil filter.
