Hi i have just rebiuilt and have almost put back together a 7 bolt turbo for my eclipse spyder. I had read a few post about priming the motor and have gotten that there is a couple ways to do this one being remove the coil plug and crank the motor til u get pressure (not the best way ive read but affective) and turning the oil pump with a drill (most affective i take) since i have the motor out and easy access to the oil pump i would chose to spin the oil pump. My question is how fast should the oil pump be spun? I am using an air drill should i go full bore or will i burn out the oil pump (brand new by the way)? Also how long should i go at one shot and how long should it take for the oil for get to the head? Like i said this is a complete rebuild so it is bone dry top to bottom. Ive seen this done on big blocks and seen the oil coming up though the head but never a little 4 banger. The little bit ive ran it hasnt pushed any oil through the filter, will it?

This should also be spun clockwise i assume..........just trying to cover all my bases in one post
