[DeTomaso] Engine Break In - Oil Pump Prime

[Asa Jay Laughton]

FWIW,
Anytime I do a rebuild, I always pre-prime the pump before I install 
it.  I make sure the innards are well coated with oil or break-in oil.  
That helps create a seal while the pump turns.  If you don't have that, 
it may take a lot more time to get the proper suction created to pull 
the oil up through the pump the very first time.
