Walt, you are  terribly mistaken.  Self-priming and
positive displacement are NOT one  and the same.

Dave I  never said that they were, what I said was that all oil pumps on 
engines are  Positive Displacement pumps.
Get your facts straight before opening your  mouth. 
When you rebuild an engine you always oil the pump before putting it  
together this is not the same as priming it. Its the same thing as when you  smear 
oil on the rod bearings before installing the rods. If you were a mechanic  who 
has rebuilt engines then you would know this.
I worked at Sharpe Army  depot where we rebuilt thousands of engines and we 
never had to prime one of  them. I think that pretty much tells it all.
