There are three plugs (Allen head configuration)running in a line on the right side of the engine at the same level as the oil filter platform. There are also others in the front and back of the engine but, if the engine is completely reassembled, they are obscured by the torq tube (back of engine) and timing plate cover(front of engine).

Have you "fished" the location where the pressure gauge screws into the block (just below the filter platform), as El Toro suggested previously? Was there oil present?

Does the engine run (are you running it without oil pressure or just cranking it)? If you are just cranking it, are the valves opening and closing (take valve cover off and look at rocker arms, are they moving?)? The oil pump is driven by the cam shaft. If the cam shaft is not turning for some reason, the pump is not pumping either....

What about the oil pump float (pickup)? Is there something blocking the oil going from the float into the actual pump?
