No oil pressure when cranking?
I'v noticed something on my car, when I'm cranking the engine, I have no oil pressure. Is this normal? Is the gauge just not registering until the engine starts or what? I know the second the engine starts that it shoots up right away to about 40 psi.
Sorry if it's a lame question, I've just never really noticed it until a short time ago.

you've got it right, nothing will read while cranking until the engine fires.
