How to build K-Series Oil Pressure

[will_2111]

Hi,

I wonder if anyone knows what to disconnect to stop a K-Series VVC EU2 firing so you can build oil pressure before it runs?

I know with the Ford engines it is a simple clip you disconnect just on the back of the engine head.

Thanks in advance!

Will, I always remove the fuel pump fuse to do this, you can remove the spark plugs as well if you want to be ultra careful.

Unplug the multi plug to the injectors and remove the plugs.

Thanks for the ideas.

Surely I don't need to remove the plugs as well as unplugging the injectors?!

Seems like a tough fix to just crank the engine over for 5 or so seconds!

Yes it would be a lot to do for 5 or so seconds ... but I've known them take a couple of minutes to bring the pressure up! Scary time cranking them over watching the gauge, doing it in 15 second bursts and just praying that it will pick up this time. Always been fine in the end. Taking the plugs out removes the compression so lets it spin over faster and is easier on the poor starter in the meantime,

Thanks for the help guys! Will give it a whirl on my BH Monday!

I know it's a bit late, but: Pull the LT side of the ignition coil as well. You may fry the coil if the spark is  discharged inside it. :-o
