a lil back story ive been working on this car for a few months now, nothing special stock turbo, mild street port, turbo back exhaust. however i have not been able to build oil pressure, ive been told it could be a couple of things.

1.) dry oil pump. i was told to take the top oil cooler line of that lead back to the oil pump, put some oil in it and let it drain down to the pump. i tryed that and it went some where but the pump never started spitting out oil.

2.) it could be the the front cover o-ring but i know that has been replaced cause the engine has just been rebuilt.

so im a lil lost as to what it could be keeping me from getting oil pressure. no oil in filter, aftermarket mechanical gauge, and no oil pressure

 

dunno, but if you dont get oil coming out of the motor, it needs to come out and come apart to see why
