He said he did put oil in the filter, and he did go ahead and put in another quart. Still nothing. Damn.

did you guys mess with the intake at all? Could ahve missed with the oil pressure sending unit???

Also when he was putting the motor back in, i think he mentioned something about getting an oil pump or putting on in? If so, could have pinched the o-ring or pick up tube... May need to pull the pan to make sure that it is ok

Good Luck

You guys? Im in Houston. Long *** ways from him, the TA just isnt at the same place his computer is, so I thought Id post up. Maybe someone would say something Im forgetting. Through cranking it over for a while, he said there was still no oil to be seen on the head, what he could see through the fill tube hole anyway.

Im thinking the o ring too.

im home guys, im uploading the video now. im very happy the car at elast started, but NO oil pressure. Guess its back to taking the front cover off. Im gonna look at the o-ring first and then the oil pump.

I know, Jason kept me updated. sending unit is fine. Theres 6 quarts in there, filter had oil in it so there technically was about 5.5 quarts to start with.

so no oil pressure upon start up... I think it has to be the pick up tube.. PLEASE what ever you do Charles, DO NOT RUN THE CAR until you fix the problem.. Otherwise we will see thread 3#.. Started The Car, No Oil Pressure Now I Fried Me New Motor Just joking man...

Let me think and see if i can throw out more ideas...

iTrader: (9)

no im not starting the car anymore period none at all. I'll go ahead and take the beltts and water pump off tomorrow. I hope and pray that its just that fagget *** o-ring or soemthing very small. Gramps is going tomorrow to get another o-ring just for safety.

Jason said something about GM having a service bulliten about an o-ring. I've got an SLP oil pump, not sure if that would matter or not, but im really holding out thats its just the o-ring.

TORCHD 02 TA

iTrader: (39)

Yes for your sake i hope that it is the o ring too..

I got a ported and shimmed oil pump from TSP.. now problems here

iTrader: (9)

ok so a quick question. the o-ring from gm should be the same as the one from gm correct?

NICE

now as far as no oil pressure... Did you do anything with the motor out of the car.. What i mean was when you bought the motor from SPEED did you put in a new oil pump? Basically where you in the oil pan???

Tainted

iTrader: (9)

nope, motor came as a shortblock. I used the SLP oil pump it came with and bought another oil pan and pick-up tube since mine didnt come with one and my old ones were trashed. pick up tube bolted up fine, oil pan when on fine as well. all thats bolted up good and I can guarentee that. the o-ring and pump has me wondering.

i ahve a feeling it is 1 of 3

O-ring
Pick Up Tube
Oil Pump

one of those 3 is not letting you get pressure.. And you did not have the intake off so that little piece in the back should not be broken..

Tainted

iTrader: (9)

the intake was off, but the sending unit is fine. i reached back there and felt it, no cracks or splits and its plugged up. i always take great care around that critter.

now the o-ring and oil pump i understand. but what could be wrong with the pick up tube itself?
