New motor runs but no oil pressure, HELP!!! Hey guys,
I finally got the car to start but I have no oil pressure. I took off the front cover and oil shoots out of the oil passage there and I also removed the block plate above the oil filter and oil shoots out there. The car shows no oil pressure at the guage and I pulled a valve cover and no oil is coming out the rockers.
Two questions, are my bearings getting oil? Any ideas what is going on? The motor is brand new built by Scoggin Dickey. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

There is a plug on the front behind the timing cover that was missing. It pumped 5-10 psi of oil pressure but the rest went right out the front hole. Is that plug there? also is the plastic plug in the back in?

Thanks soooo much for your help.
