If the oil pump has oil in it, it is probably pumping.
Why do you believe there is no oil pressure?
I have a gut feeling you have plenty of pressure but whatever gauge you are looking is not working.
If you run the engine for 30 seconds and then remove the rocker cover and there fresh oil sitting in the head and all over the cam shaft and rockers.... it's pumping oil.
Why is the oil so dirty? If you put in 5 quarts of fresh oil, it should be very fresh looking?
Gnarls.
I'm not sure why it is dirty. The oil on the stick and the oil in the pan is fresh. The only problem with checking for oil on the valves is that I put the oil in before bolting down valve cover and I kinda poured it all over the valves so there would be at least some lubrication up top before oil pressure. I will pull the cover and see if it is slinging oil though.
Do you think putting the old pump on just to see if that's the problem would be a good idea?
