Hey, i'm having a big problem, today the car was running fine, just got back from a 400 miles trip, so after changing the oil, i turn on the car and the oil light is ON, and the my gauge show 0 oil press.

I have aftermarket oil press by the oil relocation kit. My car is turbo. with build engine ( less 2000 miles on the build engine ) the build block came with the oil pump ( from laskey racing )

so the big question is how can i tell if the oil pump went bad, or the symptoms are showing the pump been bad?

I take it the oil level is good right? I've poured a quart or two into the pan from forgetting the bolt. That''s a very strange problem you have though. If it is a failure, you'll have to at least pull the pan and check the pickup for debris. If that tells you nothing, the timing chain covers have to come off to get to the pump. Check all our lines. You may try priming the oil pump with the fuel fuse pulled.

Thank for your response.

Yes, the oil level is fine, no leaks, lines are good, remember the car as just fine, the problem was after i change the oil =/

sound like i'm going to look for a shop =/

Shouldn't be too bad. The pump is one of the easier ones to replace. Good luck to you.

Yeah I'm guessing the pump must be the issue? maybe blocked or knackered??

Would you not still get pressure even if one of the oil passageways were blocked??

crazydude

oil cap twisted on tightly on top of the motor?

s2guru

yes.

the oil pump and block have less than 2000 miles.

SgtB

That doesn't affect oil pressure. It will blow it all over your hood liner though.

pressure relief valve could be not working at all... could be why its not building up any oil pressure.

is so weird, the only thing i change form any other oil change was the oil filter, i always use the OEM, now i'm using mobile one.

before that the car was working just fine.

can the oil filter make any difference?
