Default M18S oil problem

I've got a M18S I just rebuilt. Went to crank it over I put a oil psi gauge in the with the sending unit and I've got no oil psi. I took the sending unit out and I can't get any oil to come out turning it over. I used the old oil pump but I was wandering if it could be ducking air where the block half go together or my pump is bad. How much psi should I have just cranking it with the starter. I'm thinking to possibly the block is wore to much where the pump runs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. ~

Oil in it?
Sump installed?
Proper gasket on the filter hose housing? (Where the lines for the remote filter hook up)
Did you install the oil pressure regulator?

You would have to crank it a while to prime the system and build oil pressure. Should make at least 10 PSI. As long as the gauge moves, be happy.

I've had a few that ran for 30 seconds or so before having oil pressure, as long as you lubed it up good during assembly I'd start it and see what it does.

I THINK if you reversed the lines on the oil filter, a check valve in the filter will cut the oil flow off. If that's not correct, I'd like to hear another opinion.

Did you put the pressure relief ball & spring in the block before you installed the cover plate?
is the roll pin in the pump gear? did you install the gerotor (oilpump) both inner and outer?
They make #50+ @ idle.
I would not run it any more till you pull the crankcase cover and check those things, no oil circulation does bad things.
Also check as suggested if oil lines are properly routed.
Did you follow the explicit reassembly in the service manual?

I have found they start pumping faster if the sensor port is open, no restriction. Stop cranking quickly when you see oil come our.

if you didn't prefill the filter it does take time for that. you might want to spin the filter off and see if it started to fill it

I did put all the all those things in. Could the pump gears be worn that bad or the block. I'm going to put a new oil pump in it and go from there. Thanks for the info. I do have a service manual. And I've rebuilt engines since I was 12 and I'm 43 now. Never had this problem. I didn't fill the oil filter but I bib take the sensor out. And got no oil.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
