No Oil Pressure

[SlowWhite]

Jet and I have been working on fixing my oil Leaks from my Oil Feed/Return line.

We got them all fixed finally yesterday. But when I went to start the car yesterday My oil Gauge had no oil pressure. My head had No oil in it. But the Oil dipstick reads Full, and the idot Light is on.


Things we did since last time it worked:

1)Drained all the oil

2) Theflon Taped my OIl feed line threads

3)RTV'd My Oil Return Line to Turbo

4)Welded the Oil Return Line to the Oil Pan so that I'd never have to deal with it leaking again.

5)MOST IMPORT IMO - We Swapped oil Pans, We installed the Oil pan from my 1995 GSX. This Motor is from my 1996 GS-T.

So jet and I are wondering is there a difference between the Oil Pans, or is there a difference between the Oil Pick ups?


Everything was working just fine when I pulled into his house, So I'm confused as to why all of a sudden this would happen.

Any ideas on what's going on?

AS PER MITSU CAPS, THE PANS AND PICKUPS ARE THE SAME?

are you sure that the picup might have gotten cought on the trap baffle in the pan? so it would be out of the oil ? just a thought? or did youu remove the pick up? maybe no gasket? forgot to tighten the bolts?

I have no idea but it definetely wasn't the easiest thing to get back into place. I hope I didn't bend it out of place or something.


This was the 3rd time in 3 days I've taken the pan off and on. And every time it was the same difficulty getting it back into place.


Each time the pick up didn't look like anything happened to it? Screen was not bent in anyway, etc?

The oil pan is tightened into place I don't know what else it could be?

Check sensors on the oilfilter housing to make sure there pluged in, and you can not just bend the oil pick up by putting the pan on, unless you use a floor jack or somthing to push it up there. Other then that start the car and look thew the oil cap there should be oil on the cams then at least. Also is the pan dented?

The pickup wasn't taken off, just the pans were swapped.

There were a TON of metal chunks (big chunks!) of metal in the pan that was on his car when he got to my house. It is also possible that the oil pump decided to disintegrate right before he got to my place. I think it is a problem with the pickup though.

Both sensors read no oil pressure (idiot light was on too) and there isn't ANY oil in the head. I already took off the oil cap. No dent in the pan either.

I was just pointing out the obvious. So it looks like the oil pump or another internal engine part has let go.

The metal parts were copper, there also were "C" clips or something in the pan?


If it let go it let go while we were working on it. When I drive I'm always checking Coolant Temp (logs, and gauge) always checking Oil pressure (I've had my oil filter fall off in the past and blown an Oil filter cooler gasket)


And everything was working fine when I pulled into Jet's house. (I always check everything prior to shutting the car off as well)


Oil pressure was up when I pulled in - so it has to be something we did when we were working on the car?

Alright, Joe just brought up something. In the hurry to get yer ass home, did you leave the rag in the oil pan that you were cleaning it out with? Just a thought.

The metal chunks in there did look like turbo bearings or something.

Brian, how over filled is the oil for sure and how much did you put in.

4 quarts - but typically speaking my car reads full after 3.5.

In this case it's about 1/2 quart to mcuh. I will mention this new pan isn't dented where as my last one was dented. So who knows?

Maybe that dent brought the oil up to the pick up or something? or bent the pick up as well?

And I didn't leave the rag in the pan. I'm positive on that one. The only thing I didn't do was clean it out after jet finished welding.
