Got no oil pressure in my JDM TYPE R B18c Not many metal filings in the oil pan, but i get no oil pressure. Is there a check valve on the oil pump? already checked at the head and the oil psi sensor and theres none. Help would be greatly appriciated ---

have you taken out the oil pressure sending unit and put in a mechanical guage to verify no oil pressure? ---

you probly have a bad oil pump and your metal shavings are your bearings from your crank destroying themselves so stop staurting the thing to check the oil pressure and pull the oil pan pull the pump and make sure the pump turns easily and smoothly and if it doesnt bad pump then next remove a main bearing cap and see how much damage youve caused the bearings and crank and most likely you will need to have the journals of the crank polished and new bearings along with other parts ---

i used a mechanical guage and it was zero. And i already pulled the pan and the main bearings are shot, along with the rod bearings, ill have pics up soon I was just wondering if anyone ever had this problem and it wasnt the oil pump. ---

the only prob. i got is the place to do it. i figured my teacher would let me do it in school, but he said he will only allow me to put the oil pump in there… so im lookin for a spot where i can pull the motor and rebuild. And i can get a brand new crank polished and balanced for 200 with all new bearings So im gonna do that and probably change the rings and oil pump. ---
