i drained the oil tanks, (remote and engine mounted)
blew the water out of the cylinders, (starter still worked)
blew the water out of the oil lines from the oil tank (crank pressure and feed line)
I'm trying to get a hold o a DDT to prime the oil pump with fresh oil
I drained the VST tank
I just took the oil lines off the compressor and spun it over

do I have to do anything with the compressor?
Should I take the fuel rails off and clean them out?

Does anyone know if I should do anything else before I try and crank it up?

Thanks in advance

Re: Sunk Opti?

You should definataly clean out the fuel rails. To prime the oil pump you dont need the ddt. Just turn the key on and shift from fwd to neutral 4 or 5 times quickly and that will prime the pump and lines, You should here the oil and fuel pumps running for a minute or so.
One thing that you did not mention was it fresh or salt water. If it was salt then the whole powerhead should be disassembled and cleaned and inspected for any internal corrosion damage.
