face=Arial>Since I had no oil pressure and was not willing to continuing
running it, so I pulled the engine out of the car and set it on a stand where
I could turn it over with a battery and starter and look for problems. I am
assuming that with some cranking there should be enough oil pressure to turn
the light off. Thinking that perhaps I have made a stupid goof and forgot to
put the gears in the oil pump I removed the cover but they were there and
everything seemed fine. Turn the engine over and the pump gears move. I then
went through a number of steps, including removing the deep oil sump (thinking
there was a pickup problem), changed out the Gene Berg oil pump cover plate
and used a Scat version, finally swapping out the 26 mm pump and installing a
stock 21 mm pump - none of these had any impact. There is still no oil
pressure.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>About the only thing I can think of, is that there might be an
obstruction in the pick up tube. I had an engine fail in the garage due to the
pick up tube getting clogged. It might be worth a look, since you've got it on
the stand. Other than that, fill the filter, and maybe the lines too, in an
attempt to get rid of any air in the lines.
