This is the kinda thing that we have to watch out for with aftermarket parts. It’s a very tiny hole that’s broken through, but with 70 psi behind it, it will leak quick.
This is why I prime the oil pump on the stand, before the engine is started. |
I wish to thank all who replied to my question especially Brent Blykins. I did just what Brent suggested above and it seems to have remedied the problem.
