...and yet still no pressure!

O.k, I did what Quinny advised and took the sump off and everything looks fine, and the bottom end was dripping in oil. So I took the oil pump off again and I have stripped it down.
One thing to note - when I filled the engine with oil and ran the pump off a drill and emptied the oil again when I took the oil filter off it was almost empty. So the pump is not taking any oil from the sump.
So could it be the pump or a blockage between the sump and pump.
If it is a blockage is there an easy way to clear it?

Any ideas would be gratefully accepted!

The first time I drained the oil I only took the pressure relief valve out and not the entire base plate, so I presumed I would not need to pack the pump.

Maybe I was wrong!

Well ive covered almost everything, I will put it back together and prime the pump.
If it doesn't work ill have to send it to a pro.

Thanks for the tips guys, ill let you know if it works.
