oil pressure prob!!!

[HGturboT]

i had a slight leak from the pump gaskets w/ very good oil press so i then decided to change the gaskets. all put back together and no oil press at all so i took it a part again to double check and it looks good. i start the car again and still no oil press??? the car ran for about a min w/ no press, do i really need to prime it.. would idle not be good enough? it has a spacer but not the bigger gears for the HV pump.. thanks

you will need to prime it, the safest way would be the drill method.

could it be possible i have the 6 bolts on to tight?

As mentioned above, pull the cam sensor and prime it with a drill.

im doing that and still nothing. all i did was changer the two gaskets and nothing. this is killing me..

What do you mean exactly???

 

[HGturboT]

the spacer dosent have the holes for the taller gears. it worked perfect untill i changed the gaskets.

I assume you have a booster plate or cover saver plate on the pump? Did you put the correct gaskets on? Are you turning the pump in the right direction, CW?

i turned the pump both directions and confident the gaskets r on correct
