I recently tried to start my newly built-again MGB
engine (built on a new block this time).  However,
after a lot of starting, I could not get any oil
flow or pressure.

I don't think that I used the wrong gasket from
the gasket set; I took a picture of the one I did
NOT use; it's at
http://www2.msstate.edu/~mts3/gasket.jpg.  I was
turning the engine over with no spark plugs in and
throttle open, so it was spinning fast for a long
time.  No oil flow at the pressure relief valve
and at the filter.

Any ideas before I pull the pan (engine in the
car)?

Thanks,
