Had a minor setback

[LT1 Burb]

So last week I thought it would be a good ideal to get my truck running because I was sick of pushing it around. I put in my new wire harnesses, battery , fluids etc and went to break the cam in. It started up and I noticed I had no oil pressure, I had never driven this truck so didn't know if the gauge worked or not. About 5 minutes into the break in it started knocking, and it got worse so I shut it down. I also never had reverse in my newly rebuilt trans to top it off. I pulled the motor and trans and sent the motor out to a buddy of mine, I thought it might have been a bad cam break in but it wasn't. He tore it down and the guy, that make his money rebuilding motors, had the crank ground down .020 and proceeded to put it back together with .010 bearings. Guess micrometers aren't necessary when rebuilding motors. When it was being done I did research on no reverse in rebuilt powerglides and found if you use the gasket on the rear pump pre 67 glides it won't have reverse. I tore it apart and pulled the gasket out. I picked up my motor with a new crank and put it in Friday, started it up yesterday, broke the cam in and everything is working, now I am ready for paint. It is the first time this truck has moved under its own power for 8 long years.
