I've recently rebuilt the 2.9, new everything. It turned on with no hesitations, but I got no oil pressure. I decided to lift the engine change the oil pump incase of a faulty pump. I put on the bare necessities back on. I turned it on and I got oil pressure. Cool then I put everything together, I turn it back on again, no oil pressure. Then I look over towards the distributor in case it might be a little shorter or even defective. I replace it anyways to be sure. Still no oil pressure. I see that the oil pump shaft moves up and down a little bit with a magnet, about a quarter inch. Does that have an issue with anything? What could be causing the no oil pressure? I am at a lost. I've been doing this along the side with my father who is a mechanic of 20 years and this is the first time he has experienced a problem like this.
