if the tubs didn't come with an Oil primer kit .. then just use some engine oil in a oil can and put some in the tubs where the oil feed goes or ..

 

with your Cas disconnected turn your engine over few times the engine will prime its self and tubs

reconnect and away u go

cheers mark havent brought them yet just wanted to fill my head with usefull information before i got that far. id raher know it all now than be asking question with it sat in my hand, makes life much less stressfull.

personally id use it as an excuses to do a few other bits on the engine, rear main seal etc.,

 

and id go with new lines on the turbos, or at very least replace the oil return rubber pipes, and don't forget all new gaskets, and the oil return pipe one.

 

could just remove he fuel pump fuse and crank the engine as an alternate method if you don't have a primmer kit. but id do it a fair few time, and then would break them in carefully, personally left mine running for ages on the drive, before finally taking it for a drive.
