Re: Low oil pressure Is this a new motor or did it have work done at a machine shop? If it was machined, check for the plug on the back of the block. If its not there, you will have little to no pressure. Do a search on here and you will find more info on it

I hope you weren't running around too long without the plugs. Next time, if it's 0psi at idle, I'd stay away from reving up to 4000rpms.
