moroso 22162 oil pump not welded p/u tube
Average oil pressure 25 psi. No leaks, engine runs great. Added oil cooler lines to an existing sandwich adapter( inlet and outlet previously plugged).
During leak test in driveway, Oil cooler line ruptured, lost all oil, engine ran 30 seconds until I turned off ignition.
Repaired line, new oil 5w30, surprise 45 psi oil pressure reading,,,louder than normal noise from top end, turned off ignition.
Removed cooler lines from sandwich adapter, removed adapter to plug inlet and outlet. Reinstalled adapter with new oil filter of same brand. Turned on motor ZERO OIL PRESSURE.
Removed distributor, tried to prime pump with drill, very difficult to spin, and when finger let off drill switch, pump counter spun a half turn of the drill. Like a twisted rubber band. Ran primer in reverse thinking i could dislodge a jam in the pick up screen. Made gurgling sounds. No affect clockwise rotations were labored and few until bound up and forced a counter spin.

- My theory is the galley downstream of the pump is blocked. How could this happen?
