Problem started with the power steering pump gear stripping out and destroying every gear down. I replaced all the gears and oil pump, had it running for 30 minutes at idle, drove it around the parking lot for 5 minutes and died on me. Never could start it back up, I lost all ICP pressure. The engine oil pressure is registering on the gauge and with lap top while cranking. I've tried swapping HPOP with another bus and still no ICP pressure, the other bus runs fine with the HPOP from the no ICP pressure bus. I tried ICP sensor with no luck, the gears were timed right also. I took the right side valve cover off and cranked the engine to see if oil comes out of the oil deflector on the injector and there is none. Wondering if it could be bad injector o-rings, the fuel tank has no oil from what I can see. I hope someone can steer me in the right direction.
Edit: Also forgot to mention that the cranking ICP was 120psi which is no where near enough to start it.
Update: cranked engine without valve covers and seen 1 injector in the left bank gushing oil out of the o-rings. Pulled injector out and o-rings looked fine but must be wore out to let that much oil out while cranking. I'll be replacing all injector o-rings and keep y'all posted.
Update: After replacing o-rings on all injectors, the one injector still gushed oil out. The injector was leaking oil from the internal o-rings. Long story short, I replaced the bad injector and all is well now (crossing fingers). Thanks for your input.
