Hello,
I've bought a new high pressure oil pump. If I started my 235 cui engine and I saw the following process. If the engine is standing a few day, it lost it oil pressure. If I start the engine the oil pressure is in the idle by zero. So I have to kick down the accelerator and as now the oil pressure is coming and the engine gets now oil pressure in the idle.
I've been to my garage this time and I opened the oil canister. Its empty! Is there a check valve anywhere that doesn't works? I mount the oil filter container at the inner fender (see on the photo).

Its on the level from the valve cover, is this to high?
What can be wrong?
