Hi,

Well after having left my dsm for 4 years in the garage as it leaked a lot and was deployed abroad.
Now back home I tried to ressurect it.

Removed oil pan and oil sump filter. Cleaned and new rtv on oil pan.
Fuel pump dead. New 255lph drop in.
Fuse blow by new pump, new fuse and rewired the pump throught a relay.
No start. Pressure ok on fuel rail now-> Clogged injectors. Cleaned them at home.
It start now but no oil presure. Red light on instruments, and aftermarket oil pressure gauge says zero.

Where should I look at?
 
I have had them lose the prime after sitting just over the winter, I just ran it for 3 seconds, shut if off checked added oil to the cams cranked it up for another 3 seconds or so checked for oil, did that a few times and it finally made pressure. They can lose prime for no reason sometimes.
