At least you didn't pull the engine and tear it down looking for the problem!
If you fool with cars/engines long enough you will do something foolish...
This might be a good place to admit that I have in fact pulled an engine and torn it down for an oil pressure problem that did not exist.
Well, it did and it didn't, but I learned that priming an oil pump is a must-do! (Which, if you are cocky (stupid) enough to think it will prime itself you can back-fill the pump after the fact from the oil filter pressure port while using a drill to turn it)
