Chevrolet Suburban Engine Problem
I just rebuilt the engine and when i cranked the car the oil pump wasn't pumping oil. Have i ruined this rebuilt engine now and do i have any alternatives besides redoing everything i just rebuilt? It sounds terrible when i crank it (lifters, etc)
Thanks
Thanks

You need to get oil pressure before you start the engine or it will sound bad. Once you get pressure, it may be fine. NOTE:Do not continue to run the engine without oil pressure.
