    <----this was VERY comforting thank you. I was beginning to suspect because the forum had no topic about priming oil pumps then the lack of any procedure in the SM. But until I heard it for you there was still doubt

    I hear you on brake pads too... my decision is EBC

    I was going to post almost exactly what Lunatic already did. A full roller motor needs very little oil pressure because it doesn't have to generate a pressure barrier between shell bearings and journals.

    It's frankly shocking to crack an oil line with a XB motor running and see how little comes out! Where a automobile engine will spray like a fountain if a line fails (oops!)
