Hi!

My friend just did a gasket change and it all went well until we tried to build up oil pressure, no readings at stock oil pressure gauge or the aftermarket one.
its getting oil to the new oilcooler and filter but barley any to the cams? ( the first 2 in the front has oil) but rest are really dry. The head is fully rebuild with 268 cams n that

We didn't touch the pump or anything like that, cant figure out whats wrong with it?

check the new oil cooler. i hope all your oil pressure isnt just flowing through the cooler and not getting to everything else. try blocking it off and lmk what happens.

aright an update

we removed the spark plugs, the oil cooler shouldnt really get any pressure as the the termostat barley lets anything trough until it hits 80 degress ceclsius.
I'm getting some oil now to the cams but just barley.

Still no sign of oil pressure.... wtf is goin on?
The oil lines for the turbo r getting oil, unhooked both n alot of oil came.
