I just completed reassembling the motor after doing the head gaskets. I followed FordTechMakeuloco's procedure for priming the pump (crank motor with crankshaft position sensor unplugged until pressure guage shows pressure).
I did this several times with no change to the pressure guage. There should no issue with debris in the oil pick-up (timing guides weren't chewed up, etc.) and I definitely installed the o-ring between the pump and pick up tube.
I decided to remove the oil filter to see if oil was reaching it. It was full of oil BUT the oil was cloudy. I just added new oil!
So, I guess I have two issues that may be interrelated (??): cloudy oil and no prime.
Thanks in advance for any input you might be able to offer.
