Toyota MR2 Project - Part 43 - Preparing to start the engine

In this video we button up the last little things, so that we can finally try turning the engine over, and make sure our rebuilt oil pump is working.

loved that little edit following the ratchet :D

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Thanks! We were worried it might make people feel sick 😖

[@Talsin1989]

You hearted my comment knowing you were posting a vid. Smooth, very smooth :P

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

And now we’ve got wait until our next video before we can heart this comment 😂

[@mxochimera]

Welcome back! Loving the progress in the vids as well, editing skills improving! Also loved the video title placement and fun little captions etc., another little detail to look forward to.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Thanks! It’s been really fun learning the more advanced editing stuff, glad you noticed it 😊

[@pahooper99]

Just checked for my own sanity and Sophie always sits on the left (your right) 😊

[@BradcoxMr2]

Hi matt, I had this issue after my rebuild, the light will go off! I gently blew some compressed air down the dip stick hole. That primed the pump for me! Keep up the great vids!

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Ah, that’s a clever idea, unfortunately we don’t have a compressor at the moment, but we have found another solution 😊

[@Brian001]

A pleasant sunday surprise video :) I never know when they will show up but happy when they do.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

We like to keep you on your toes 😊

Happy to see some more progress with Misty! Can't wait to see her on the road again.

2seconds in, paused, now preparing a brew to enjoy the episode. Nice to see you back again.

[@Oblithian]

Sophie I can relate to people missing my puns. Deeply saddening, my condolences.

[@glennmagnus854]

You can take the cam cover off and see if oil is coming out the top of the motor while cranking, or loosen the oil pressure sensor and see if oil squirts out while cranking

First? Woo. Love these videos guys. Keep up the good work and hope all is well with the family.

[@roccit]

Yeah, nice work you two. And guest what She’s wrong, he’s right. The lady is audience left, and the gent is audience right. Keep it up. ...And yeah, just start the dang thing, enough testing :)

[@Oblithian]

Me just now: "What is this? A VIDEO!?"

[@jlfvanzyl]

Yay! Another one! Honestly- you’ve primed the thing fine, just plug everything back in and start it! 😁

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Tempting as that is, because we rebuilt the oil pump, we really want to make sure it’s working before firing the engine up. Especially as there’s a good chance we did something wrong 😬

[@VeeDubJohn]

I haven’t looked back, but I think she is right about sitting on the right. Did I write that right. Ah, English. Don’t feel bad, mine hasn’t moved much in three years either. I challenge you to a slow race:-). Let’s see who’s will sit longer.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

A slow race it is! Although second place is the best either of us can hope for, as project binky will take the gold

[@adamward1008]

whats this a new EaUB Vid ? it reminds me that I need to find some more of that awesome HP sauce you sent us !!

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Glad you liked it! Can you get it anywhere in Australia? Hope you’re both well 😊

[@pahooper99]

Misty turned over really well. Sounds like you have air in the oil pump or the sensor has gone.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

Yeah, it’s most likely air in the pump as we completely rebuilt it a while ago.

[@GodOfBiscuits66]

Did you check the oil level after doing the priming? If it has gone down, then you are moving oil into the system.

[@EnginesandUnfinishedBusiness]

I did after filming all this, and somehow the level went up 😖

[@GodOfBiscuits66]

Really.....
