Buly, when I first tried bring the oil pressure up in my engine by cranking
(without plugs) - no oil pressure. I then took the oil hose off from my oil
filter to oil cooler - no oil flow. Turns out I had reversed the IN-OUT
lines to the remote oil filter and that prevented flow. I have heard of
that happening to others as well. I had thought that the IN to the oil
filter went to the inner part of the filter and the OUT was taken from the
outside part of the filter - turns out its just the opposite.

Today I took the first step of starting the engine and stumbled right
away.
Poured 3 qts of oil in and started cranking with the plugs off. Checked
the
oil and it was down. Means that the oil pump primed right away.
Overall it took about 7 qts. The bad part is that I had the turbo oil feed
(original steel tube setup) disconnected and waiting for the oil to show
up
- no luck? I attached a clear hose and tried to pull vacuum, but I can
hear
the air whistling in the oil filler tube. I'm suspecting something wrong
with the oil pressure valve, but also want to hear from the experts.
