I took the pump apart soon as I took it off the motor today. Looked brand new. Turned fine by hand.

I figured I lost oil pressure when I cranked teh car, I heard the rockers making A LOG of noise several seconds after they should have gotten oil pumped to them and quitened down. Walked around the side of the car and gauge showed no oil pressure..

I checked the sending unit, its good. Gauge COULD still be messed up. Im going to get another good gauge from summit and stick on it before I drive it.
