I a truck towed in with a no oil pressure concern, customer just did his own timing chain job. Vehicle will fire up but no oil pressure.
This vehicle does not require to remove oil pan to remove timing cover, but for seem reason this person did, also installed new oil pump.
i figured he screwed up the new oil pump and did not prelube it, no he did not, pump is burnt up. Install ne pump and still no oil pressure.
Remove the pan and inspect the pick up and found that he made his own gasket for the pick up tube. All good except he did not
put a hole in the middle for oil to go thru. I laughed so hard. Put in correct gasket and we have oil pressure. Guys in the shop had a good laugh at his expense.

This is hysterical and reminds me of an experience I had about 8 years ago with the one time I bought a house to flip it. Bought the house from an acquaintance without an inspection. I was in the process of getting it ready for the market and noticed the dishwasher wasn’t operating correctly, the bottom was filling up with water instead of draining. The pump sounded like it was trying to work so must be a clog somewhere, right? Check the drain hose and it looks like new inside. Pressurized air produced bubbling in the puddle in the bottom of the dishwasher so I knew that path was clear. Hmmm. Look at the spot on the garbage disposal where the hose connects and whoever installed the dishwasher never punched out the little round tab that lets the water pass through into the disposal basket. Who knows how many years they couldn’t use the dishwasher because of that?!

That one hurts. I installed numerous garbage disposals back in the day when they had a female cap over the male nipple for the dishwasher drain tube. The first time I installed a disposal that had the punchout instead of the rubber cap I forgot about it, too! Had the exact same issues.
