So about two months ago I bought a 97 integra ls sedan to replace my civic, my civic had a b20 in I that I installed shortly after getting the car that I purchased from HMO, not long after I bought the integra I pulled the ls to drop in the b20, the b20 was in my car about a year and had just under 30k miles on it since I put it in the civic.
Last weeks I was driving home and the oil light came on, I was only a mile from home so I just continued home because it was running normal and if.not for the light I wouldn't have known anything was wrong. I assume the oil pressure switch is bad so I replace it, lift still on, I tested the one I replaced at it tested normal. I order an oil pressure gauge and installed today, start the car and there is zero pressure. I have my buddy look and he said the pan is dented in, so I drop the pan, I remove the pickup and look through the hold and look at the pump gear, everything looks normal and it turned freely with the crank, I put the pickup back on(screen wasn't clogged) beat the pan back flat and put everything back together, fire it up, zero oil pressure, after thinking for a minute I thought maybe the filter failed or got clogged and is not letting oil through(small chance but weirder stuff has happened) so I changed te the filter, zero oil pressure.
At this point me and my buddy are stumped, anyone here have any ideas?
Side note, I didn't run anything over and I was driving normal when the oil light came on.
