First off thank you for the responses,
Here is what I have tried/found and am still have same problems:
I was using a 3/8 so I tried a 1/2 but that did not help the 3/8 seems to spin with more rpm so I went back to that. I took the gauge off the psi tube and only get drips when spinning the pump. I removed the back side cover and removed the first lifter from its bore and there is flow from the oil galley into the lifter bore but when I put the lifter back into the bore it does not seem to "pump" up as I get no oil flowing out the top of the lifter?? I am using a new pump with a gasket and I JB welded the pick up tube to the pump body. I also checked the pick up tube height/depth before installing the pan so it was not sucking against the pan or starving for oil.
I dont understand the sucking air where could it be sucking air from?? Could the lifters that came in the kit be wrong somehow??
Thanks
