i checked and the sending unit is plugged in, it doesnt rattle or click despite the new cams. everything sounds fine. i'm pretty sure its a bad sending unit but i'm not gonna drive it til i see oil pressure. dont feel like destroying all my work lol.

Check the sending unit then get back to us. Like posted above, pull the cover, u'll know real quick if u have pressure.

it ended up being a bad sending unit. i checked it by lifting the car and replacing the sending unit with a mechanical guage, then had my friend watch it as i turned it over. not sure why it would fail during down time, but at least it was an easy fix.

Glad u got a cheap fix out of it!
