well it was all assembled and you could see the grease in it, yea its an f6 so it has the oil pressure guage pod standard, ive cranked it over for about 40 sec with sparkplugs in do u think I should take them out to get the motor spinning faster?

no worries mate, just making sure that the old one had not broken as if it had you may have had bearing damage causing oil issues.

Take the plugs out, take the oil filter off and fill it with clean oil and refit and then crank it.

too late now, but you should not assume it was primed before fitting it

Ive had a rare occasion on a oil filter change it would not get any pressure. I changed from the Ryco back to a geniune filter and it was fine.

Put the Ryco back in just to check and it did it again.

Im not saying that's the problem, just something else you could try, as ive never seen it happen before.

Ivan; I noticed the same thing when I serviced my car last weekend. Ryco Z9 oil filter used, foot to the floor on the accelerator and the oil pressure gauge wouldn't budge off of 0 after three sets of 5 second cranks. I checked the wiring of the sender thinking that the gauge may be the issue. Went out on a limb and started it as normal and oil pressure was there as soon as the engine was running.

Could it really be the Ryco filter or do Autometer gauges just not display pressure until the engine is running?
