Yeah i did that drill test last night and no oil came up at all... Im going to do it again today and look under the passanger side valve cover to see if its getting oil over there. If not i guess i will go ahead and order me a hi volume oil pump or something.

did you bother try spinning oil pump driveshaft counterclock wise yet??slapping a pump on without doing what I said would be a waste cause clockwise is the wrong direction..of course it did nothing!!! you were spinning it the wrong way. you need to verify 100 percent that's the prob.....that's like trying to blow through a straw and then wonder why you didn't get a mouth full of water with the straw completely immersed in the cup

hmmm that's nice..guess you never bothered to try spin the oil pump in the right direction??[&:]..good luck with it and most likely the pan won't come all the way out even with motor jacked all the way so getting to oil pump bolts will be fun as well as pick up
