Managed to crush my oil pan (s14a)... dont ask! have ordered a replacement pan and oil pickup as I'm concerned pickup may have also been damaged
I don't have an oil pressure gauge yet so ordered a mechanical pressure gauge just to run a test on first startup. I'm going to fit a sandwich plate adapter too as the oem pressure switch looks like a nightmare to get to
Once I have swapped the replacements in I was thinking of priming the engine just in case the oil pump was damaged. From research it seems the best options are to pull the fuel pump fuse, unplug the injectors and spark plugs, and crank engine briefly to see if the cluster oil light goes out. If it does go out quickly I was then going to plug everything back in and start it up and check the pressure gauge
Assuming I don't expect to see much pressure on the mechanical pressure gauge during the initial prime?
