tahoe no oil pressure

how do you prime the oil pump

When I installed a new oil pump on my Yukon, I removed the front cover of the pump and packed it about 25% full of synthetic grease to seal the rotor/housing gaps. Worked perfectly. You can do this without pulling the pan - just need to remove the harmonic balancer and timing cover, and anything in the way of getting them off.

Right side of front of motor down near the oil pump is a plug you can pull out and pump some oil in there. I will try to find the link I found before on it

After I fill the oil pump with oil from the side port how should I proceed with continuing the prime and I am going to remove the oil pressure sensor and put an oil pressure test Guage on it after I do that and remove the Guage will I have to reprime the engine

Put the plug back in and start it up.
