I NEED SOME REAL HELP !!!

I ASKED THE OTHER DAY FOR SOME HELP AND YOU GAVE IT TO ME, BUT IT DIDN'T WORK!

I BOUGHT A NEW MOTOR A FEW MONTHS AGO I GOT IT FOR DIRT CHEAP CAUSE IT WOULD NOT HOLD OIL PRESSUR. I THOUGHT IT WOULD JUST BE THE OIL PUMP SO I GOT A NEW PUMP AND A REBUILD KIT, SENT THE HEAD OFF TO BE FULLY BUILT... AFTER I PUT THE MOTOR TOGETHER IT STILL DID THE SAME THING. I ASKED FOR YOUR HELP AND SOME OF YOU SAID TRY THE OIL PICK UP... GOT A NEW ONE .. STILL DID THE SAME THING... BUT .. EVERY TIME I TAKE IT OFF AND PUT IT BACK TOGETHER I GET OIL PRESSUR BUT THE IT DROPS OFF IN JUST A FEW MIN... I DONT GET IT... WHAT THE HELL IS UP WITH THIS THING!! WHAT COULSD IT BE I HAVE TRIED EVERY THING.....

HERE WAS THE FIRST POST ... http://www.sr20forum.com/240sx/162382-i-think-my-baby-sick-help.html

check your oil pan for dents. if you got dents on the pan you loose the pressure. I'm surpriced noone thought of that before.

Lose the all-CAPS thing, first.

Second off: when you rebuilt the engine, did you replace any crank or rod bearings? If so, what were the tolerances on them? Could be too tight, thus denying oil pressure.

I didn't rebuild that far ... just a gasket kit , new pumps, alt, then head gasket up was a full rebuild.......
