If an external pressure pump is not available, prime the
lubricating system according to the following procedure.
Fill the engine with lubricating oil to the high level mark on
the dipstick.
Disconnect the turbocharger lubricating oil supply tube.
Pour 50 to 60 cc [2.0 to 3.0 fl oz] of clean lubricating engine
oil into the turbocharger lubricating oil supply hole.
Connect the lubricating oil supply tube to the turbocharger.
CAUTION
Mechanical overtightening can distort the threads or
damage the filter element seal.
Fill the lubricating oil filters with clean lubricating engine
oil.
Screw the filters onto the filter head fitting until the gasket
contacts the filter head surface.
Tighten the filter as specified by the manufacturer.
CAUTION
Do not crank the starter motor for periods longer than
30 seconds. Excessive heat will damage the starter
motor.
Crank the engine until the lubricating oil pressure gauge
indicates system pressure.
NOTE: Allow 2 minutes between the 30-second cranking
periods so the starter motor can cool.
NOTE: If pressure is not indicated, find and correct the
problem before continuing.
