The oil pressure sensor is at the back of the engine underneath the intake manifold. I don't know what to tell you about your tach

Did you have a shop machine the block? If so, they probably left out a plug at the back of the engine. It will leave you with little to no pressure. Otherwise check your oil pump o ring.

what sensor is it exactly? is it the one that is almost dead center or the one twards the drivers side?

also after a bearing change what will the oil look like? and is there any place to get the oil tested to see if there is coolant in the oil?
