Bryson Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hi Everyone, I'm looking for some suggestions on what to try next. I currently do not have any oil pressure. I have a origional 2.6 4 cylinder 86 commence. The engine was fully rebuilt about 5 years or so ago. I got manual gauge and tested the pressure and still got 0. I also took the gauge off and just had the hose hooked up and it barely dribbled out. After that i dropped the pan and changed the oil pump and did not find any spun bearings. Engine has no nocking when running. Any help on what to check next would be appreciated. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Remove the oil pressure sender and run a zip-tie through the hole? Perhaps sludged up? Have you observed the rockers getting oil or not while running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I once had a zero-pressure condition caused by a collapsed fram oil filter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 I know, right? proof that we all start at the bottom rung of the knowledge ladder. I learned my lesson and thankfully didn't lose my engine that weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryson Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Yes iv changed the filter. I also hooked up an air line to the oil pressure sending unit and still get nothing. I could hear the air come back out the top breather when we tried it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiser54 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I'm still curious to know what can be seen through the oil filler hole with the engine running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
