It was, and I had checked it before I installed it.

If anyone has any idea why there would be aboluetly no flow from the pump, other than a damaged pump, please post. I can get a pump at advance auto (melling pump) for like $16. I just don't look forward to unbolting the mounts and jacking it up enough to slide the pan out. I've done it before and it's kind of a pain.
Bummer...

By filling the oil filter with fresh oil 'before' you install it, it allows for quicker oil pressure during the initial start up.
An old tip my pops taught me.
