Thanks guys. Don’t know what is was. Like like a cross between carrot cake and iron filings. Anyhow resolved to see if it happens again.
Anyhow, primed the oil pump last night. Man, what a scary task without somebody by your side who knows what’s supposed to happen. An Allen key drive the same as a pencil and that is supposed, to get me psi forever. Anyhow, result, about 3-4 mins and two drills in, suddenly oil started exiting the lifters. What a sweet sight. Refiitted the dizzy to the marks I made and it dropped in, second attempt no problem. Spun it on the starter, oil light went out and we have oil pressure on the gauge. My first time with all of this and in the U.K., feel remote, save for you guys. Anyhow, what a relief......we are homeward bound now, dusty MSD’s aside.

My car just sits in the garage from about Thanksgiving to Easter, unless there's a super-warm winter's day, which happens ever five or six years or so. But, each spring, I disconnect the MSD, and spin the starter until I see the needle on the oil pressure gauge kick up a little bit -- that's the really easy way to spin the oil pump. Then I fill the bowls up with a squirt bottle, splash a little down the top, throw some salt over my left shoulder, and fire her up. Yep, it's my spring ritual. :cool:

Looks much better, a bad example, probably out of 4WD.

Here is a top bearing:

Any bearing supply shop can provide those as R8ZZ or, if you'd prefer one that's sealed on both sides, ask for an R8-2RS

rodneym should just replace the front wheel bearing instead, it's easier.:cool:

I'll take a rain check on the front wheel bearing.

Replacing the gear on the dizzy (without a puller) is hard enough for this bearded lady.
