LB7: No oil pressure?????

[MAXX IT OUT]

I when to prime my oil pump by cranking the engine with the FICM unplugged. I have cranked it for about 2 minutes and have no oil pressure on the dash gauge. I also took off my oil feed line for my turbo and am not getting oil. Am I over reacting to soon or is there something wrong. Right now I am letting it sit and am getting the batters charged.

That's not good

i would say that it could be air locked(happened to me once) or oil gallery plugs were left out(also happened to me)

Does the dash read real-time when cranking on the '01-02 bodies? I know mine doesn't display till after i let off of the key? Just curious.

 

[delong_1]

mine will show when cranking.

not that it matters since there is no oil at the turbo.

Mine would not show when cranking. Had to use efi live to see it

I am thinking it is air locked, so I am going to pull the oil filter off. What do you guy suggest for break in time? I am planning on letting it run for a bit before I drive it, but is there any time table I should use?

My break in was let it idle and check for leaks. Run soft for 50 miles, change oil. Run soft till 200 miles then WFO! I also primed the system while the engine was on the stand.
