Any way to test oil pressure before installing the motor
Title says it all. I'll imagine a yes but it's a lot of work and the oil control rings need break in time to seat properly so you won't get an accurate reading anyways. But thought I'd ask anyways.
Fresh rebuild has held 15psi of air in the coolant system for the last 18 hours. Yay. Just wanted to test the oil system for pressure before doing the front stack.

What are the chances of the oil control ring springs slipping out of the dimple on the rotor, or off the control rings after they're installed on the workbench? Wish there was a way to check that, I was careful but would like to be sure.
Any chance if the springs slipped out of either place that they'll pop back where they belong?

As tight as the o-rings hold the hard seals, it'd take a LOT of force to get them to rotate in their bores after they're pressed in.
Once you press them down into the grooves as instructed (using an old ring to spread the force around), they don't rotate at all, and I've never had one pop back out during assembly once they were pushed in.
