Just have to ask, never tried it ever ever!! So I don't make another fatal mistake if the head is off my 1.3, can I crank to verify oil pump operation and oil up to the head via the passage? Something went left I had enough oil pressure to turn off the oil light when I test cranked before all buttoned up, but I DID NOT HAVE THE DAMN VALVE COVER OFF TO VERIFY OIL TO THE FRIGGEN HEAD

can't see why not but it'll probably shoot up and make a mess. |
