Tell me more about cracking the oil filter. I too am having same problem. This is not a rebuild issue. Engine was running fine since car purchase 2 years ago. Would occasionally see oil dash light stay lit after start up but would go away. But now oil light stays lit. Put mechanical oil gauge on and see no oil pressure. Replaced oil pump with Rockauto Mellings oil pump. Checked that distributor drive was spinning before installing oil pump, which I could feel drive engaging oil pump when installing. But I did not prime oil pump. Still getting no oil pressure on mechanical gage or at dash light with new oil sending unit.
Does cracking the oil filter a 1/2 turn or more free up any air lock?
