[QUOTE="Tacoman1998, post: 448865, member: 23637"] I just recently replaced the timing cover gasket due to a coolant leak on my 07 JK unlimited with the 3.8 V6. Simply replaced the gasket, bolted everything on, and went to start, only to find I was getting no oil pressure at all due to the idiot light being on and the engine started knocking. I think I’ve ruled out bearings, oil pickup being clogged, and the oil pump being bad given I didn’t take it apart. I tried ‘priming’ the system by overfilling the oil level (10 quarts) and cranking the engine over with the oil filter off, but nothing came out after 8 cranks. My only other thought is maybe I need to pressurize the system some other way? Does anyone have any ideas/ experience with this? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
