    Upload to photobucket, then copy the IMG code and paste it here.

    Unsure about the check-valve, but that could very easily cause it.

    Along with the oil filter being dry, I'd start taking stuff apart.

    Hopefully someone who's pulled the filter neck off and rebuilt will chime in.

    Looks like the filter adapter is coming off. Dammit.

    If the plunger and spring are installed backwards it will cause very litte to almost 0 oil pressure. Consider the motor toast.

    Edit....link to pic of how it should be sitting in the housing

    if the filter was dry, and nothing came out when you took the sensor out, you indeed have 0 oil psi.

    that spring and rod just maybe in backwards.

    Oh man, you don't really think it would be toast do you? I mean, it was running smoothly, and it has been on maybe a minute cumulatively at idle. The valve was definitely in backwards, I wish I had known that intense had that picture. I suppose I am looking at oil pump damage huh?

    Cumulatively less than a min you may still have a chance. Install it cottectly, fill up oil filter before install.....and say a little prayer. May luck out but maybe not.....not gonna know until you try.

    if it only ran for a minute and no revving the engine it maybe ok. maybe. fix that valve, then take the plugs out and crank it for 15 to 20 seconds, then take the oil filter off to see if oil has gotten to it. if the filters got oil crank it a bunch more cause the engine is really dry.

    then fire her up.

    Why not just pour oil in the filter then spin it on so its already primed?

    I think they want to see if the pump fills the filter to prove it has primed. Any other situation then yes fill the filter first.

    hmm good call ^ makes sense.

    If it wasn't revved up i'd like to think it will be ok, only one way to find out though! Good Luck

    i always fill a filter when i can. surprised he put it on dry my self.

    but in this case it will prove its pumping oil in a short amount of engine cranking.

    Definitely didn't put it on dry, I filled the oil filter up before I put it on.

    id think the pump sucked it out, but because the valve was backwards it got no new oil.

    fingers crossed man.

    Well, I pulled the neck off, the valve looks okay, but I don't have the shim between the spring and the valve that the intense photo shows. Is this piece absolutely essential?

    No you shouldn't have that little piece..... that's part of the kit that they sell and is not a stock item.
