Hi there,

If you have no oil pressure, you will have to check the pick up into the oil is not cracked and sucking air, the pump is working, the pressure relief valve is not stuck open and dumping oil back into the sump, take the oil sender out and crank it over, see if you get any flow, if not i would be checking the above.
