New update bearing look good. Only strange thing is the **** ton of dirt in my oil but that could flushing the engine with 12 qts of oil. Does anyone know of any additional plugs not mentioned

I would inspect the oil galley that the pump feeds for cracks, holes, irregularities. You said you were not getting pressure at the filter so that would mean that the oil isnt getting past the outlet of the pump...

well i m not getting pressure. It is shooting a good deal of oil though. could there be any additional plugs i dont know about. I also saw a bearing that wasnt seated right which was odd but the crank lobe and rod bearing looked good. I m wondering if that was it.

well problem solved engine runs like a champ. if anyone else has a problem like this just take it step by step. check your block plugs, pick up tube oring, oil pan gasket(my problem) oil pump etc. I recommend using a mechanical gauge as well to completely alleviate any false readings or questions regarding the factory one

How did your pan gasket effect the oil pressure? I'm chasing a similar issue and looking for any solution possible.
