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 |

Did you pre-fill the filter with oil? If so, you may have hurt your cause. I have had success in that situation by using a turkey baster to squirt oil up into the pickup tube (yes, it's a mess!) to get enough in there to prime it.
