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 |

I build 2 engines a year and start them on an engine stand outside the car. I always install a direct reading oil pressure guage. I crank them on the starter with the plugs out. I 1/2 fill the oil filter and sometime I can't get any pressure so I remove the filter and let some oil run out of the filter housing under cranking . Then reinstall the filter , crank the engine and I usually get 40 + PSI with the plugs out. It takes a while to fill the valve assembly. Best advise is to listen to Jake.
