Since the oil was still cold, it made plenty of oil pressure. This pump and relief valve spring typically made 60-65 psi with warm oil and higher than idle type RPM.
I didn't notice any oil pressure issues until it went to zero. confused

I expect to start it again on Wednesday. The investigation is done, the new bronze gear oil pump drive shaft is installed, and I put a new oil pump in just in case.
I primed it with a drill late today (Tuesday) and it all seems normal. luck
