I have a 95 k1500 that I'm sticking a fresh cam in. Just finished buttoning up the motor the other day and ran the oil pump primer. According to the gauge on my dash I was getting 40psi with my 3/8 drill. But went to fire it up and about 3 minutes into the break in and 0psi on the dash. Now I'm getting no oil at the rockers. I am using royal purple break in oil. Now since I had to shut it off so early into the break in do I need to take the motor apart and relube the cam/lifters?
