Hi all.
My VF Calais V L77 V8 is not my daily driver. Sometimes i don't start or run it for weeks on end.
When i leave it for a while, for the first second or so after starting, it clatters and sounds terrible. This is obvioulsy because all the oil has drained from the top end and i believe this is normal.
My question is though - is there a simple way to crank it over for a few seconds without it firing to get the oil flowing ?
I'm thinking something like accelerator pedal to the floor and then crank it or similar.
Don't want to be pulling fuses etc.
Thanks in advance.
