[QUOTE="jfbrubaker1969, post: 28336, member: 10675"] Well, I got the engine reassembled yesterday, but I did leave out the coils/spark plugs. This morning I added 5qts of oil and turned the motor over 3 times for about 30 seconds each time to prime the engine with oil. I checked the oil filter and the VVT solenoids and I had oil in both. I installed the spark plugs and coils, turned on the ignition and she started right up! It was a little rough at first (which I expected), but smoothed out after 15-20 seconds. Engine sounded good, no unexpected noises, and then...I got a low oil pressure warning. There's no sign of any oil leaks, I got oil all the way to the top of the engine when priming, so I know the NEW oil pump is working. I'm guessing it's probably a bad oil pressure switch, but I'm wondering is anyone knows how to check the ACTUAL oil pressure of the 2.4l Ecotec? [/QUOTE]
