--hey all helping another tech, I have a bus that has no oil pressure at least at the reservoir, after the oil cooler gaskets orings were replaced
--I checked the hpop reservoir bone dry filled with oil would then run few seconds and die
--pulled the new oil filter was full of oil removed and cranked oil is coming into filter fine so wondering why this is going on after the o ring gasket job on the cooler
--so at this point seems the oil pump is working and the hpop resevor is holding oil ,
any help greatly appreciated thanks

I haven't had one off in over 10 years, but is the oil pressure regulator in the oil cooler? If so make sure it's back in correctly.

Pressure regulator is in the rear oil cooler header.

Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback

yes turns out I solved this one not to long after I posted but the tech didn't re-install the pressure relief valve , don't know why he removed in the first place ? doing gaskets and o rings. The valve happened to be sitting in the oil drain bucket and figured the issue was self inflicted there .
