    4th~Something with the oil filter adapter.

    There is no reason to pull the intake or heads just yet. If you killed it right before or right when it hit 0-psi, it may live. You can pull the distributor to prime the oil pump shaft. Don't run it anymore until you get oil pressure primed back up.

    What type of oil filter are you using?

    Some of the Fram filters will collapse very easily. I have seen a TON of racing engines expire that way.

    Try a Napa Gold filter if the oil filter that you are using has collapsed. Also, very good advise above.
