Engine 2.0 76
Rebuilt engine and should start it today. Pulled the plugs and filled oil. Cranked engine to get oil pressure but nothing. Pulled pressure switch and tested with compressed air works fine. Loosened oil filter and cranked again oil ran from filter, tightened filter and tried again.... Nothing.


Oil type 20W 50

Need some advice on what to check to find source or problem.... It's just a Pita

You could pull a valve cover and see if oil has gotten up there. . If so, then you know the cam is lubricated and the crank should be also. .
Will make a mess but you can pull the oil pressure sender, crank as see if oil come out. .
How are you measuring oil pressure? to an idiot light or a gauge?
Might be that you have pressure but the indicator isn't working properly.
