new oil pump wont bleed up

Hello,

Try removing the oil filter and pumping oil down through the main port, this will get the pump "wet" and begin the pumping action.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken

thank you for your help ken im waiting for an oil pressure gauge im sure there is a blockage somewhere maybe the oil cooler the engine has been stripped to bear block and cleaned im at the end of my teather now but ive spent too much on it to back out now there does seem to be more oil going to the head but the hydraulic lifters arnt happy which are also new the crazy thing is it was the turbo that was the problem now it seems to be the main oil supply to the head

In the head gasket there is a passage that is meant to feed the turbo and lifters, if the wrong head gasket was used the oil to the top part of the engine will be a problem.

would it stop all oil to the top there is oil getting there from the turbo could there be a problem with the vacume pump causing blockage and knocking as if it was the lifters thank you

It is hard to say there might be two oil passages. But if no oil is getting to the turbo and lifters it would be the first place I would look.

there does seem to be lots of oil getting to the head now is there anything i can do to bleed the lifters up thank you

The valve train should bleed out on it own how long has the engine been running?

hi do you know how i can take the pressure sensor out without removing the alternator thank you

I'm am sorry I do not can you send a pic of what you are talking about please?
