Pull the spark plugs and SPIN the BITCH UP! with the starter motor or build a primer and tap it into the front galley plug on the drivers side of the motor. Anyone recommending starting the motor when its exhibiting no oil pressure is a complete BUFFOON! Make darn sure you have oil pressure before powering up your motor.
Mine took forever to prime. I pulled the plugs, disconnected the coils and removed the fuel pump relay and spun it over for about 15-20 seconds at a time. Took 4-5 times of doing that before I got pressure.

Since it had already been on the DYNO, Blueprint Engines said either take the plugs out like some of you have suggested or start it and see if the oil pressure comes up right away which it did.

Read the entire thread...it was not a fresh engine. It was ran before. It's a different story when the engine is on its first fire up.
