No oil pressure in valvetrain, I'm lost
Heres other thread to give background
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...75#post7226675
I've checked the orange plug on the back
I don't know what else to check. the oil is clean, and its got pressure in teh bottom, where could I have blockage?
I'm really lost. I would hook up a guage but im afraid to turn the motor any more once i realized there was no oil pressure up top.
Anyone have any stories of absent mindedness while assembling a motor that leads to this?

pulled the front of the motor, still lost. everything is there, tight, and theres no oil leaking from anywhere (i was told to check this due to oil leaking from gally = no oil pressure past that internal leak.
anyone?

so that orange plug on the back of the motor is 99.9% my problem?
is there a way to get to that without pulling the tranny?
also could someone post a picture of what it looks like PROPERLY installed?
i remmeber what it looked like.
I'm just not looking forward to possibly having to pull my motor, AGAIN. this is like the 4th time in 2 weeks.
