Well got everything bolted up and cranked down started the car 0 oil pressure will have to pull the water pump, balancer, timing cover and drop the oil pan in the next couple of days and see if the O ring got pinched and go from there besides the 0 oil pressure everything else was good. Will get on it tomorrow starting to break every thing down. At least the tear down will be easy this time.

Wtf!!

Also make sure it wasn't the oil pressure switch in the back of the valley cover, that couldn't of either been plugged in or broken because they are fragile. DAMN IT!!! Sorry bud was hoping for a sound clip!!

But you didn't touch theoil pump, did you? Seems like the problem may be on top as litle8 said unless you replaced your pump or removed it in order to install a new chain.

Sorry, I confused this thread with another. Looks like you did drop the oil pan.

good for you! you get more enjoyment out of the end product when you know how much work was actually involved. Unfortunately, my car is a DD so i can only have it down for 2 days at a time when i am off work. I have a truck but don't drive it far, leaf spring is getting ready to snap and just dont want to put anymore money into it!

It's in the back of the valley cover on the drivers side. It's like a little tower sticking out and has the adapters on top of it.
