Re: Update oil pressure

["Gary H." <62to65mopar@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Start up protection: packing the oil pump with Vaseline type petroleum jelly quickly primes the pump / system: open up the oil pump case to pack. 

Put a very small (tiny) amount of silicone sealer on the surface of the mating surface and install the gasket.  Cover the pump shaft and O ring with oil. Put a small (tiny) amount of sealer on the block.  Twist left and right while installing.  35 foot pounds torque the 4 bolts.

Thanks,
Gary H.
