The test plan for today is:
Pull oil filter and crank car and see if oil comes out there.
If success install shopvac and filter device and suck oil till I build pressure.
If that fails drink heavily. Then pull motor to take back to machine shop and disassemble and see what is blocking something.

This is what the oil port on the passenger side looked like before I cranked.
This is what it looked like after cranking briefly.

If the pickup tube is leaky then the pump will suck air and not oil, and air would have come out the little screw hole when he turned the motor, and not oil.
If oil comes out some hole A but not some other hole B, then there is blockage between A and B.
Lars, have you tried if oil come out the feed for the oil filter? IOW remove the oil filter, crank, see if oil shoots out.

Doesn't make sense to me.

So right now I have some work that I could be doing, but really I am twiddling my thumbs and posting on mt.net.
