New oil cooler Do you prime?

[SCARAB3DMC]

I installed new oil cooler do I need to prime before starting ? or will the oil pump fill it?

While the oil pump is filling all those lines with oil, it's feeding air to your bearings. Pull the dirstributor and run the pre-luber. Plusd you get the added benefit of doing a lea check.

It is also easy to just fill your cooler up to your thermostat (before you prime), Heck you can even prefill your lines.

PRIME IT! The piece of mind alone will be worth the effort and time
