Thanks Ted,i'll check the tube out of the oil pan. I got an oil pressure gauge from my mechanic,he told me to check the oil pressure before doing anything else. What oil pressure should a fresh rebuilded engine have @ idle?

chris70 (3/10/2016) What oil pressure should a fresh rebuilt engine have @ idle? 20-25 psi oil pressure at a hot idle would be normal on a fresh engine.

Made the test with oil gauge and had between 2.5 and 3 bar which is about 40psi with engine cold at idle. At this point i guess that the engine is healthy and bulb is gone! Bought a mechanical oil pressure gauge to keep everything under control in the future. Thanks everybody for your help.
