After trying to prime the oil pump and still not getting any oil flow, I broke down and removed the pan. There was the culprit, big as day. I had a kink in the oil pickup line. Because I am installing an inverted oil system, I have to run the line from the pump back out the pan to the inverted oil ball valve. This line needed a bend, and I thought the hose could handle it, but I was wrong. SO I replaced the bend with metal parts, and reassembled everything. Now I've got 60 PSI. I also burped the coolant, and that system seems to be working too. I did find a couple of leaks that will have to be fixed, but that is all minor work. Thanks all for the helpful words! Getting closer every day. Chris ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01C9A023.6A433A20 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
