Cranking newly built engine for the first time May 24, 2021 16:17:44 GMT

Long story short, engine was rebuilt (by me, first time I have ever done one so keep that in mind) about 3 years ago, and has sat since then.

At the time, I filled the oil pump with oil, but not anything thicker as suggested in some places.

I have now got to the point of turning it over which I am doing with spark plugs out, coil unplugged and cas unplugged.

Dash board is a little problematic, so have taken oil feed off turbo to check for oil

I have turned it over 4 times for ~10 second each time and not seeing anything yet
.
Do I just keep going, or is an unprimed oil pump the Problem

Any tips on next step?

Thanks
Ian

Panik over. Did it once more time for luck and I have oil to turbo. Probably best to give any of my posts a 10min buffer while I actually solve the issue myself... Thanks for listening ..
