When the engine is turned off all of the oil is draining out of the oil lines. It takes a couple seconds for the oil to get pumped back into the lines before the pressure builds up. You might try a slightly heavier weight oil and see if it helps. Thanks Redbeard I changed the oil and used 20-50,didn't make a difference. It still takes about 5 to 20 seconds(depending on how long the car has been standing) for the oil pressure to come up plus the engine sounds really bad now,lots of knocking,clicking,whining,etc,I'm not even sure where it comes from. Do I have to replace the crankshaft/bearings? What's involved in that?Would it be better to get a new,used engine. I could get one for $375. Please give me some ideas what to do,this is bothering me badly.

Why does my ktm 525 stop running with choke off?
The carburetor needs to be removed, disassembled, cleaned, reassembled and replaced. If any gaskets tear in the process you will need a rebuild kit.
How do you know if your oil pump is gone out?
If your pump is out you should not run the engine as this will ruin it very quickly. If you have an oil pressure guage and you have less than 10 psi of oil pressure you have a problem. My 94 Chevy G20 van with a 5.7L had low oil pressure until I replaced the intake manifold gaskets, during which I cleaned the "gunk" between the cylinder banks. I also replaced the oil pressure sensor sensor which I broke while removing the manifold (oops). Now the engine has good oil pressure at all rpm's. Not sure which was the issue.

Why would oil be on the intake manifold on a Chevy 350?
Probably a gasket or seal. Could be the rocker cover gaskets, intake manifold gaskets, or end rail seals. Have even seen the oil pressure sender leak and spray up onto the manifold. Get everything cleaned up real good and you'll be able to see where it's coming from.
