: : It's still a prob that's for sure. This is what I've done: A new guage, checked oil pressure line for clog, new drain/return line (from filter canister), new o-ring on oil pan pick-up joint, checked gasket at the pick-up, looked for missing plugs inside galley, pulled pump to check innards, checked gasket matching and ports on engine/pump matchup. : : : Here's my next question....when I checked for gasket matching I'd noticed that there are 3 (!) ports on the engine block to the pump mounting pad. Now, there should be 3 ports on the pump then....nope. Only have the 2 main ports (in and out) on the pump. The gasket that I'd used didnt have the hole for the 3rd port, it just covered it over and apparently I didnt catch that on assembly. So, I've got an engine with 3 ports and a pump with 2. : : : Any comments/tips, or maybe even one of those 3 port pumps laying around somewhere.....and what the heck is this pump that I have, for something newer? : : :
: I'm still getting a tiny bit of flow, approx 2 or 3lbs. If it's my fault in the engine assembling process I could understand having 10-15psi if the crank clearances were poor, but the oil just isnt flowing well in the galley. Still acts like a galley plug was left off, just free-flowing back into the pan. : still scratching this head of mine. :
