skydawg Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago I changed filter cartridges and oil lines on the two canister filters on my ENDT 673 engine.I filled both filters with oil.That was six weeks ago.Finally started it,and after 30 seconds of idling,zero oil pressure,according to the gauge.I would always get 60 psi showing within 5 sec.The dash gauge appears to be fed from a line going to the turbo.Is there a way to positively check that I have or don`t have pressure in the engine? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h67st Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago You could pull the gauge line off where it comes off the turbo, crank the engine with the shutoff pulled and see if oil pumps out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago That’s kind of scary. Did you check and make sure the pan is full? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago What I changed mine I only had 20 pounds. I turned it right off and discovered it needed more oil. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skydawg Posted 3 hours ago Author Share Posted 3 hours ago Oil spurted out of the big filter when I opened the vent and cranked the starter,but no oil going to the turbo feed line,and therefore none to the gauge.If anyone in northwest NJ is interested in a pretty nice single axle B61,I`m ready to move on.

steve s. Posted 54 minutes ago Share Posted 54 minutes ago Don't sell your truck! If you had oil pressure before your oil change, you should still have oil pressure. You probably need to bleed air out of the filter. Do you have the large full flow/ bypass filter? That is the one with 3 lines on the bottom. If you had some oil come out the vent, you must have some pressure. They can take a bit to get all of the air out as I recall. There are several places on the drivers side of the engine where you can pull out a plug and install a test gauge, if you need to. Good luck.
