main repairs in the engine were replaced crank&rod, cylinder (96mm) and piston.
meanwhile, engine is back in the frame and oil is filled up.
i was turning it with starter motor, connected to 12v.
gave it two 5-second long try, but still no oil in the filter cavity.
guess some oil must be in the bottom and pump is working (as oil goes up to the frame).
what about the normal speed of the starter motor - isn't it fast enough?
maybe i'm bit anxious on this subject, but for now don't want to start the engine without being certain that crank and cam will be receiving oil..
