When I did the lines on the 94, the pump lost its prime - I assume its a problem common to all the motors with the external oil pump. Its pretty easy to tell if it lost it - since the motor starts and runs very poorly indeed without oil - assuming you know what has happened of course. It kind of took me by surprise since I'm not the most knowledgable v8 guy. I had to drop the pump, and do the "pack it with vaseline" procedure to get the prime back.

Incidentally, I had to do this in the parking lot at a military base where I was TDY, and my buddies got a lot of amusement from seeing me laying under my truck with a tub of vaseline trying to get an 8" long metal shaft into place under the motor.
