Will a 7.3 powerstroke start with no oil pressure?
I bought a salvage write off, it was hit hard in the front end,the ring on crankshaft pulley was chipped off, waterpump shaft moved it in so wouldn't turn, no damage to housing. I removed rad support to clear front of engine, put 2 good batteries in, the engine fired right up and ran excellent, best of any I've had so far, BUT the oil pressure gauge showed no oil pressure even rev'd up. Hoping just the gauge. Started it several times, engine quiet and very responsive. Thanks for any info. Al
