Edit - Just a thought, is the dipstick correct and showing the right amount of oil for that engine?

Dipstick should be correct, I haven't ran part #'s to check. I put in around 2 qts +/- (filled to mark on dipstick) so there should be enough oil in it, no leaks and its not smoking.
Thought about a gauge, need to read the book to see how much pressure it runs. Don't really have any spare known good gauges that we saved off of anything. Given the total time we have ran it both before and after the rebuild, I don't think we have pump trouble--would be awful coincidental to have it with only 2 ours on a rebuilt engine. Got a couple other things in the shop right now, will see if I can scavenge a gauge later this week.
