My freakin oil pressure!!!!
Hey everyone.I really need help with this one.I recently swapped engines on my 98 Z28.It mostly went smoothly until first the first run.I had 0 oil pressure so I cut it off right away.I tried it again for a few more times of no more than 10 seconds and still nothing.So I pull the fuse for the fuel and pull the plugs and connectors for the coils.I filled the engine with about 15-17 qt. of oil and start cranking it.It finally shows close to 40 psi of oil pressure after a couple of tries.I drain the oil back to the normal level and run it.It was good for a few seconds and then it slowly went back down to 0 so I cut it off again.I tried it a few more times of about 5 seconds and I finally gave up.I really need to get this car running and would like some suggestions/advice on how to solve this problems.Thanx in advance

LOL yeah it was !!! I thought it would be the o-ring or that the pick-up tube is pinched/cracked.can anyone guide me to the proper place to purchase a replacement o-ring and pick-up tube.I recall that the tube was a bit bent and I straightened it out.So I'm gonna replace that too while I'm down there
