[Tech Help] S52 isn't building oil pressure.
Hey guys and gals;
I'm at the end of my rope here. I just replaced my E30's heart with a freshly rebuilt S52.
Starts up no problem, but the dash oil light comes on after a couple seconds.
To diagnose, I want to trace how the oil moves through the engine.
Something like this? http://imgur.com/a/JB9ed
I'm wondering if a bad head gasket could cause the poor oil pressure?
Could missing piston squirters cause it? (I don't remember seeing those when it was rebuilt.)
