So i wack a oil pressure guage on the port near the oil pump. Crank it and nothing not a blip.

I think oh shit what now. Pull the pump off and double check its moving ect and pack it full of grease to prime it.

Put it back on and even fil the filter with oil. Crank it and still nothing. I removed the filter and cranked it and i can see oil coming out.

Is there a valve in the pump that could be stuck?

I wouldnt be overly worried if it doesnt get pressure while cranking, so long as it comes up quickly when it actually kicks in.

Ah, ok.

 

Could be the pump, a quick strip down and measure up will let you know if its serviceable. Make sure the gear that drives it is good and the cotter pin is installed.

 

Could also be the oil pickup sucking air.

 

Or could be some larger issue in the block.

 

Or it could be a kink in your oil pressure guage line, stopping the guage from working if its mechanical.

 

Or it could have no oil in the sump :P

 

Cheers.

 I should see some kind of pressure when cranking it shoudn't . I have oil flow from the oil pressure switch port but i suspects its not enough to give me pressure reading

6 pints for motor

1.5 pints when changing filter

 

a pint equates to 900 ml.

 

so 7.5 pints which is about somewhere about 6.75 ltr .

 

just have checked the book and i think that you need to make an allowance for the oil filter as they are listed different points in the book.

Is this the first start up of a fresh engine or just an old engine?

I drained the oil and got 3ltr out of it and put 4ltr back in. I would of thought this would be enough to give me some kind of oil pressure reading or not?

Or are 202's that picky on oil levels

Its an old engine with a new head. Its been sitting for at least a month. Ive replaced the sump and pick up with a hk (mid hump sump). The pick up was clean and i mae sure of it. Iam getting oil to the sender but dont think its a strong flow. So iam thinking the pump is flogged out

 

Iam taking the reading from the oil pressure switch port

So it has oil in the sump, what about the rest?

 

When you fitted the new pickup did you check it thoroughly for cracks as well?

 

Cheers.

So you've had the engine running for a very brief period of time and still not getting any oil pressure reading on the gauge?

You can diagnose a cracked/leaking oil pick up by over filling the sump to the point where the entire pick up is submerged in oil ( I recon 7-8 litres should be enough??) if you suddenly get oil pressure than there is a leak in the oil pick up somewhere. This happened on a mate of mines v8 and thats how he diagnosed it.

I assume you had oil pressure before you changed the sump & pickup.

 

If this is the case, there must be an issue with the HK pickup.

No.

Red, blue, black 6 have a flared union connection.

If the engine was running ok before, and all that has changed is the pick up, then there's the problems
My holden book quotes 310kpa max oil pressure @. 1500
