Do you have the adaptor plate bolted on upside down, so the oil holes don't
line up. Check this out. (Don't ask me how I know about this)

Subject: [Healeys] SOS no oil pressure
After two months leading up to the fire-up of my 100m today, I was horrified
to find zero oil pressure. Motor turns over rapidly with plugs out, and I
removed the pressure gauge line to verify that it was not a clog there.
The motor was rebuilt with all the oiling components placed back on. There
was adequate oil pressure before the motor was torn down. The only change is
the addition of a Welch oil cooler kit mounted to the spin-off plate, but I
don't see how that would make a difference.
Am I overlooking something simple? Is there a need to prime the pump
somehow? All suggestions are very much needed.
Thanks
