Get on your back and pull that greasy old oil pan off...for starters. Or get an oil analysis...

Is there any way to tell if they are bad other than low PSI?

I think he means low oil pressure.Originally Posted by kjc

If you had a cracked head, and are experiencing low oil pressure, I would assume the coolant in the oil wiped the mains.
You need 13 PSI at hot idle, and 10 PSI for every 1000 RPM beyond that.

Alrighty well I havent fired it up yet. Im double checking everything tomorrow morning and putting oil in and hoping she fires up first start.
