I couldnt get any oil pressure on the starter motor after I had done my sump.
So I crossed my fingers and started it up knowing it was running OK before I had done the sump. Once started it had oil pressure within a couple of
seconds, I put it down to the fact that all the oil had drained out of the pump etc ad wouldnt prime at cranking speed. Hope yours is the same, keep
us posted.

I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Has the sump got little feet welded in to support the pickup? The pickup needs to be adequately supported and not just suspended in mid air, if not
then the pickup could have half fallen out and either sucked itself to the bottom of the sump, or could be letting in air past the seal so not picking
up oil properly.
(Just checking, its not one of my uncle's BTW is it, I dont recall you doing it through him?)
cheers
Chris

Those outlets are inlets which draw air into the exhaust ports. Ive still got mine connected to the air box, but that could all change next week as Im
putting a foam fillter on now that it has passed the SVA. 
I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it
