Got my LS1 into my S14. Finally got it running. Ran a mechanic gauge today behind the intake. Not getting no oil pressure. Took the gauge off and just left the tubing. The oil VERY slowly comes out the tube. I took my oil filter off & oil comes out very fast. I need help figuring out why oil is coming out soo slow & showing no pressure on gauge. Thanks.

Is it a new oil pump?! Did you correctly install the O-ring?!

I'm pretty sure I did. I'd have to take the whole engine out to check. It's a Sikky oil pan. Just trying to see the responses I get :/

& I know it's pumping bc it's spitting oil out the filter when I remove it & start the car. Just stuck here!

if it is an aftermarket pan with a filter relocation kit on it then try switching the hoses around on the relocation housing some of thoes pieces are directional and oil will only flow one way.. this has happened to a buddy of mine before

How sure are you that you have a good engine? Bearings could be past shot.

O-ring is what I'd most suspect if the engine is known good.

Next step is the oring. I have a feeling that might be my problem :/
