    New engine, no oil pressure please help

    I was kind of thinking about trying to tap them and putting a pipe plug in with some red loctite One plug did in fact come out, thankfully we found it in tact so it didnt get chewed up in the engine, we didnt put loctite on either one, but would just pinging the edge of the hole for the one...

    Got the plugs in, fired her up, got to a nice 50psi on cold idle then suddenly dropped clear down to 10 psi.... This truck hates me... If one of those plugs pushed out we'd back to zero right? Maybe now the pressure regulation valve is pitching a fit?

    They werent there, we got new ones from the machine shop today, they were definitely a tight fit, good to know on not running them in too deep, they pretty much stopped at flush and wouldnt go further

    Do you know what size plug they need to be? The ones under the flywheel are in there, i put those in, i didnt realize the plugs in the front were there though, the machine shop that did the work on my engine either never took em out or they put em back before i got the block back

    This is the first I've used this machine shop before, is the highest recommended shop in the area and when I built my engine i used a different shop and wasn't happy with their work, so we went to this one since its the shop everybody says does the best work

    I ran the pump with pickup tube attached in a bucket of oil by hand and it pumped oil, even pumped air back into the bucket when i ran it backwards

    New engine, no oil pressure please help

    So this engine before we tore it down for the rebuild was running in a truck and had a mechanical oil pressure gauge plumbed to the factory sender port just like we are trying to do and it read 40 psi cruising down the road at normal op temp. So it has to be something that happened during the...

    Well got it all back together with the oil pump bolts actually tight this time and it just barely trickles oil out of the factory sensor port so im at a loss

    Well, pulled the pan and found the problem, whichever one of us put the oil pump on didn't tighten it

    How close to the bottom of the pan should the pickup head be sitting? It seems like its about 1/2" away from the bottom

    Well we tried changing to a known good oilcooler thinking maybe the bypass valve or pressure regulator valve werent working, but that didn't change anything, so our next step i guess is pull the pan and see what we can see

    And we have the line for the oil pressure gauge hooked up where the factory oil pressure sender used to be

    New engine, no oil pressure please help

    Yeas we are using an aftermarket mechanical gauge, we had the oil line off of the gauge and sitting in a bottle to catch the oil as that's what i did when I built the engine for my truck and worked well, but we got no oil coming through the line at all
