This Barnes four-stage pump has three scavenge sections that pull oil from the pan and pump it into the oil tank.

Why is there no oil at the top of the engine?

(Topic#192284) Hello again. Having an issue with not getting any oil to the top end. When we primed and ran the engine, it had excellent oil pressure. Don’t know how long the engine sat, but I know it has new bearings. Pulled the intake, pushrods and the lifters and didn’t see any oil going to the lifters, even in the rear two.
