need help, oil presure help ?

That's why were here Bobby. Make sure to use some brake cleaner on them and the holes you're going to dive them in to for a good seal. If you want to use any sealant then use Indian Head Gasket cement. It won't cause you any problems and will help to seal any imperfections. Stake the plugs in good so they don't decide to back out when you check for pressure again.

You're not the first one to make this mistake. I forgot to put mine in when I rebuilt my motor. There is even a link to a picture on the last post in this thread.

I'll try and post some tomorrow in a new thread and post a link to it here. I don't want to hijack this thread. Great info here with good troubleshooting for no oil pressure issues.
