no oil pressure in gsr
 

i just finished my swap and im not getting any oil into the head. i turned the car on and it was working fine. then the oil light went on. it started making squeeking noises from the head so i added oil all over the head and the noise went away. i took the valve cover and turned the car and thats how i saw that oil wasnt being pushed up. does anybody know whats going on. its a 2000 gsr block so i dont think that it can be my oil pump. do yall think that i didnt plug something right. i dont have a knock sensor since im using a p28 obd1. do yall think that might be the problem

try another pump

no i didnt put it together. its a stock 2000 gsr block. everything was working fine before in the other car before i used the block on my gsr head.

drop pan. Make sure pick up is in the right location. Also dont start the car again with no pressure

Re: no oil pressure in gsr
 

is it possible for the oil pick up to be in the wrong position if i never openned the block before. how can i check if i hvae oil pressure without starting the car?

If the motor hasnt been opened up before the only thing is a broken oil pump.

the head and the block came from different motors. it did not come together. we put it together. the oil pan is dented but it worked fine when it was in the other swap. i did have that block sitting in my garage to like a year and a half.

take off the oil pump it sucks but thats the most likely thing

in houston-imports.com they told me that it might be the oil filter being clogged up. what do yall think?
