Default Re: oil pressure

Depends on how long it has sat not run. From the valve galley, there are tubes that go down to the mains. the oil fills the valve galley and then oil fills the tubes. If the engine was sitting not very long it would take a while for it to drain out. As for filling the galley, it would only take seconds to fill as the standard pump pumps 1 gallon and one pint per minute.
