i recently finished doing a basic rebuild of my motor, replaced bearings, rings, etc., had head redone, etc. i am in the process of initial engine startup. my new autometer oil pressure gauge is not functioning so i dont know what my oil pressure might or might not be. that i know i must resolve.
i am concerned that i may not be getting oil circulation. what could possibly cause lack of oil pressure/circulation in a rebuilt motor? is there any valves that could be stuck shut? is there an easy way to check if i have oil circulation without my oil pressure gauge working?
i have oil, new oil cooler lines, new oil cooler, i packed the oil pump with vasoline to facilitate priming the oil pump on startup, but it sounds like i am not getting oil pressure so i shut it down. can the vasoline be causing the problem?
i am replacing the oil press. gauge with another unit, will arrive friday. i know that is critical.
