Finishing up my car and about to put the timing belt on and time the car. I put in oil and then remove the HLA regulator and spin the oil pump gear with my impavt driver and a 14mm socket. I kept the speed on low and it spins freely but to my surprise every few rotations the impact kicks in. This is at a slow speed. I bled the system and hoked the turbo feed line back up then put the HLA regulator nack on.

So before I go to start it up, would this alarm anyone?

I was expecting it to spin freely without any significant drag. I know the oil is thick, Brad Penn 20/50, and it was about 45 degrees out put does anyone else think this is strange?

 

I'd spin it by hand with a wrench before coming to any conclusions

 

It spins freely by hand

 

spins free by hand? play ball...
resistance from pressure build up probably caused the impact action

 

Yeah....that is what I was thinking. Just checking.
