i took the right valve cover off to see what i had at idle and i didnt see any oil flow, the engine never knocks or makes any strange noise at all. i hit the throttle up to about 1000 rpm and oil sprayed everywhere




Might want to double check the pickup you installed. If it was to close to the bottom of the pan that might happens. Assuming it had oilpressure before the tear doing i would think the pick-up might be the problem
