I would do a Oil Pump Prime Sequence.
is that the turn key on and put in gear like five times
No, that puts you in break in mode.
i believe its in break o. mode now it has 9 hrs since rebuild
Let's hope not... if being properly broken in, there's no reason for it to cross 3 hours (at a maximum) and still be in break-in mode.

what do you mean i just bought the motor and was told it had 9 hrs on it mark nicoletti did the rebuild im waiting on a hub kit so this motor has 9 hrs on it and i have not ran it yet should i bleed the entire system or just from the remote tank beings ite tank on the block is almost full only a little oil leaked out of block tank.
You made this statement...…..Originally Posted by ser68
If the break-in mode is being performed properly, the break-in clock will expire well before 9 hrs. If what you say is true, motor is still in break-in mode after 9hrs, then the break-in procedure is not being performed properly.i believe its in break o. mode now it has 9 hrs since rebuild

I thought break in was 10 hrs on double oil
No, break-in mode is a clock, which can expire in around 2-4hrs.
