I read quite often in forum messages that after changing headgaskets and valve oil seals many people find that they need new rings. I was wondering if anyone primes the oil system before starting the engine after doing major engine work? Without oil in the oil galleries, it would take time for pressure to build up and the rings would wear more.
No oil pressure at startup is one of the leading causes of engine wear.
