No oil pressure

If it's a fresh rebuild, could be many things. You do have 5 quarts of oil in the crankcase,
Right? :-) Oil pickup installed at the wrong angle or has a crack in it...pump and filter need priming....pressure relief valve.....bad pump....are all a possibility.

yup 5 quarts, oil pickup not sure , pump and filter primed, the pressure relief valve moves freely- spring installed, bad pump ? Pulling motor tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas
