Well this is not good. I hooked up an analog gauge and tried with a drill but nothing at all. I tried to burp the oil filter by loosening it, nope. I then removed the pump and it looks good to me. No scratches at all and the O-rings are perfect. This pump is not that old. This is the second time I have lost oil pressure. Last time it was the pickup. Looks like I have to drop the pan and take a look at this pickup. I even made accommodations for the pickup to not seal on the floor of the pan. YET, there were no noises when it was running. The oil was off for maybe 15 seconds or less at most. Only the time to pull up the driveway. 70 feet or so. It might have been ok until idle dropped to 950 idle speed.
Has anyone gone to an external pickup for the oil pump and used a milodon pro touring pan??
