hey guys I installed a fresh sr motor. went to start it and the valve train was very loud so i shut off imediatly. hooked up an oil pressure gauge and unplugged the cas/fuel pump fuse. im getting 0 oil pressure when i crank for a good 15 seconds. I also tryed all the tricks for priming; crank dozens of times for 15-20 sec, put oil in oil filter, poured oil down turbo return hose. still getting 0 oil pressure.
now heres the funny thing..I pulled out all 4 spark plugs and tryed cranking it again with cas/injectors unplugged obviously,, and the oil pressure gauge is shooting up to around 30psi. so Install back the spark plugs and again 0 oil pressure.
next im gonna remove oil pan and hammer it out a bit, even tho it doesnt look dented.
ps.. I did a compression test and its 170psi give or take on all 4 cylinders.
Has anyone experienced something similar??? any suggestions???
