hello all, im at my wits end.maybe someone can shed some light.i have a rebuilt engine that i replaced the timing cover on because i could not get the oil pump to prime.now with the new cover i got the pump to prime and oil up thru the pushrods. but if the motor sits just a little while [a couple of hours]i have to start the process all over again, its like the oil is draining back to the pan? help please ,steve

Sounde like your pressure relief is staying open. Where and what new parts did you get on that motor?

Does it have a Fram filter? That could be the cause of your troubles (no check valve)
