There is no spoon.....
I mean oil leak!  . I have also worked off the factory manual when putting this engine back together so i know it's done right. Just to recap: there is no oil pressure at idle (anywhere from 800-1200 rpm tested) but as soon as you put your foot on the gas it jumps to 40-60 psi. I have tried this engine with it's original oil pump and a new oil pump so i know the problems not there. The crankcase breather is properly hooked up through the correct valve to the inlet manifold. The valve cover breather is hooked up to the ramflow air filters. All gaskets, bearings, timing chains, valve springs and rings are no more than 1500 k's old, and the engine goes like shit off a shovel! This puppy will happily pull past the 6500 RPM mark if you let it! I am using a high density oil so that can't be the problem, and the oil and filter were replaced 2 weeks ago. The problem seems to be that the pressure in the crank case does not build up until you put your foot on the gas... If there is anything simple i've missed, don't hesitate to add to this topic, but so you know my background, i'm 35 years old and this will be the 17th toyota that i have rebuilt since i was 15, so i kinda know my way around engines, transmissions, whatever. This problem just has me beat and i'm sure there is someone out there in the big wide world who will know the answer, so post away!
Cheers
