advice needed re: loss of oil pressure

Posted by Bruce on February 26, 2004 at 06:38:34 from (24.213.27.142):

My M600 bobcat with wisconsin VF4 engine was running fine..good oil pressure, then, total loss of oil pressure ( as observed at the filter and feed lines to the filter canister) I have no flow to the filter or out of the engine block to the filter lines. This engine did sit for many years and I did flush the block ( but only once) I really dont want to pull the engine out of the machine, does anyone have any experance they can share regarding loss of oil to a remote filter...Could it be a stuck oil filter by pass??? What do you think of this plan..drain oil, fill engine crank case with kerosine, drain, repeat.....( in an effort to remove any gunk that might be in the pump, lines, etc...then fill with oil and see if pressure returns. Other suggestions...???

Thanks for any advice.
