i just rebiuld my 87 turbo 2 engine and i have no oil pressure. what could cause this?

 

No oil pressure when it is running or when you are cranking it? I have an electronic oil pressure gauge on my motor. It took several minutes of cranking to build pressure of any kind.

 

It has to be a gauge problem. I think it is impossible to have NO oil pressure. Unless it has NO oil! HA

 

i havent started it up yet so, no oil pressure when cranking.

 

I'm not sure if the TII has that plastic white, and black rubber o-ring in the front cover but are you SURE that's installed?
you sure?

 

Try removing the spark plugs to increase the cranking speed. Defined Autoworks gave me that tip and it made it easier to build pressure using just the starter motor. Once you have pressure of any kind it will come up very fast when the motor starts.

 

im just trying to find all of the possibilities and then start trying to find out what went wrong. good idea ill try that.^
