I'm going by an aftermarket oil pressure gauge mounted inside the car. Also the oil light comes on when there is no pressure reading on the gauge. This engine was from a wreaked toyota corona and i had not seen it running before the rebuild. The quetions i'm getting now are a lot more specific and are going to help with the issue. I can tell you all one thing, I have rebuilt 3 18RC engines and never had this problem before. Now... cam tunnel bearings were not replaced, as the engine was rebuilt because i was told it was smokey, so it got rings, bearings, timing chains and a hone. One pump was from the original motor with the spacer fitted, this was dismanteled and reassembled. Then a new oil pump was primed and fitted on the second go at the rebuild.Welch plugs usually stop water from getting out and the 2 half moon plugs at the back of the cams would create a shit storm of oil flowing up the windscreen of the car if they were misssing so i'm pretty sure i would notice. No changes were made to the crank when fitted, the dizzy is standard and everything else went back where it should. The only thing is that 19mm plug behind the timing case. I am sure i didn't remove it an i work in a "clean room" enviroment, with stainless steel benches wiped down and floors cleaned before i start a project, so i know i didn't "forget" anything. Still, i'll pull the timing case off and have a look. Thanks!!!
