Ok so my friend is having an oil pressure problem so i thought i'd post it here.
So i am desperate, im trying to go to jersey the 6th and of course shit hits the fan.

my timing was off a tooth on the crank so i drove it for a while cuz i knew it would suck to do. it ran fine apart from lack of power. so i start redoing the timing. i pull the valve cover off, the oil pan, and the front cover and put it and put it back together. go to start it up no oil pressure at all wtf

i pulled it all off again and put my other front cover on that i knew also worked and i packed the pump with grease first which i didnt do the first time.Start it up again and still no pressure.

i check the oil passages and as far as i could see it was ok

the pick up looks good my oil pan is fine

im using the greddy oil pressure gauge with the adapter on the oil filter so i know its not lying plus u can hear it doesnt sound right or good.
I rebuilt 2 sr's before so i've done this before but never had this problem.

am i forgetting something??? im stumped please help

did you make sure the O-Ring was still in place when you put the cover on?

The oil pump is good. He swapped in another one after he noticed there was no pressure and that didn't work.
