Jeff:
I had my 92 900s (85k) at Tom Townsend's awhile back for service (very lucky to be one of his customers). After finishing up an extensive 30k service, he went to start it (while I was waiting) and same thing happened. No oil pressure. Sounded like a bloody diesel - scared the hell out of me (and definately through him off base -- if one can do that to Tom). Just 30 minutes earlier it had been sitting in his driveway humming quieter than I have ever heard it. At first he thought the oil pump had failed. But when he looked at things the next day, it turned out the oil relief valve had gotten stuck open. He removed it (lots'a labor) and made some cross hatches on it (he commented on this in an earlier thread). No problems since. To this date not sure why this happened. No signs of metal or anything else clogging the lines.
Just wanted to pass this along. I'm sure Tom can give you more details of what he did to the relief valve, if you need it. All I can say is I'm glad it happened at Tom's, and that he was the mechanic to fix it!
