    Way to go.

    I'm pretty anal with this. I even prime the engine after her winter sleep, when I wake her up for the first time in spring, not only after a rebuild. Put the shaft in a drill and spin it till I have oil coming out of all the rockers, and than some for good measure. Than I roll her over a few times (plugs removed) before I fire her up.

    Overkill? Well maybe, but it doesn't hurt ether.

  2. if it loses its prime completely after only a few months there have to be issues with it...

    It probably doesn't - it's just peace of mind.
