I pulled the oil pan off this weekend to see what I could see. No overalls in there. Everything looks normal. The oil pick-up tube was clear and sealed properly. Also did a compression test: 134-135-139-134-135 - perfectly normal. However, the oil is still getting frothy/foamy even after only a short 30 second run time. Let it sit for a day or two and the oil returns to normal. Start it up and the oil goes foamy again. Also, my oil pressure warning light comes on immediately and stays on. Yet, my oil pressure gauge shows 5 bar. I'm a little stumped about that one.
Can anyone give me the proper procedure for starting a 'new' engine for the first time including how and where to prime it with oil. Perhaps as someone suggested earlier, there is an airlock somewhere.
Thanks!
