No Oil Pressure
HI,
In the rebuild book it says to crank the motor over to build oil pressure. I have been cranking and no pressure is building. Please confirm that I have everything correct. The motor is a 7R case with pretty much every thing from original 2.2 in it. I installed everything just how it was on my original 2.2. The oil pressure sender is towards the front of the car and the temp sender is on the rear where the cam oil lines connect. Is that OK to do with this case? How long should one have to crank before seeing oil pressure? Any other ideas? Please. I know that oil is circulating because pulled the temp sender and oil flowed out. Thanks, Kyle 71` 911 |

As I recall the rebuild book says to crank the engine in 20 second intervals. My oil pressure started coming up in the first 20 second crank. Are you sure your oil pressure sender is good? Sounds like you are getting oil. If you still have the old sender you might reinstall it and see if you get some pressure. If you are sure you are getting oil circulation, and it seems like you are, I would start the car, let it run for 20-30 seconds and see if pressure builds up.

Kyle,
Many will find all sorts of interesting and obscure reasons why “no oil pressure.” Many are valid questions. Put a mechanical gauge on the engine and measure the pressure. There can be several reasons for your readings, electrics being one. Report back after measuring with a mechanical gauge. Best, Grady

Sorry it was my own fault, the gauge was sticking. I took off the wire grounded it a few times to make sure everything was OK. cranked it again and it rose up to 20 PSI.
Yeah some times I am a moron, but I needed to get away from it for a few minutes anyways. Thanks, Kyle |
