Re: low compression, no oil pressure

On your oil issue - you could pull one of the galley plugs, or just use where your oil pressure gauge taps off, and force feed oil using a pressure pot. You could even do this on the stand, with the oil pan and valve covers off, to inspect the oil flow at each critical point.

Summit Racing and Jegs both sell pressure pots; I'm sure others do as well. You essentially just pressurize a can of oil with shop air and use that to force feed the engine, bypassing the oil pump entirely.
