I primed and started with a flashing 145 in the oil pressure window. All other readings were as expected. I shutdown before 30 seconds and investigated, everything secure, re primed the oil, with the same flashing 145. Any ideas out there? Scared for my engine (52 years retired engine man).

But if you pop the top plug out of each pot you will be able to turn the engine over fast enough on the starter to see the oil pressure rise.

Alan, Suggest you take out a plug from all cylinders and run it on the starter until you get pressure to ensure all systems are flushed full with oil. Then replace the plugs and try another run after you got the pressure on a gauge. What engine is it ? ..........Hydraulic tapits perhaps need the chambers full? Have you bled the oil cooler? And pressured up the oil tank with a bike pump ?
