Shoot.... looks like I missed this one too.... did you ever get this fixed... I'm sure you did, sorry I miss it. I don't see the TTA as being any different to prime the oil. I have seen the wrong gasket used on the oil pump cover cause the prime to be difficult... otherwise something stupid like the oil pick up loose or not there....
