I think I know the answer to this but wanted to pick everyone's brain as to what could possibly be wrong. I rebuild my Gen 3 6.0 and went to go prime the motor with the starter with the coils and injectors unplugged. It never built any oil pressure. Gauge never moved. I am using an autometer oil pressure gauge with a capillary tube so I thought maybe I kinked the line or since it was in the oil cooler adapter it needed some more oil. So I pulled my oil pressure sender up top and installed another oil pressure gauge I know works and again no pressure after 5 -10 revolutions of the motor. The batter was low though so it wasn't spinning full speed but all I could see in the tube was a few drops of oil. I am thinking the oil pump I got must be bad. I did buy it used and it was a mellings high volume pump. I shimmed it on install like mellings suggests. Just wanted to get some other opinions before i tore into it.
Thanks
