For kicks and giggles I went out to look at my oil pressure while cranking,I found that mine fires up after only a few turns,but the oil pressure guage doesn't move at all until~2 seconds after it fires up and runs..Just thought I would throw this out there for reference.
EDIT: I'm not having any issues starting,I'm just adding to the research..

Sorry, not sure what Elma is, you talking RR East, if so, no.
I think Robin checked the ICP pressure, and yes I know the HPOP is low, I keep using the same tool to measure it and I mark it each time, it's definately goes down.
My coolant is still ok, I just recently added some SCA because I bought the wrong stuff, I bought prediluted, instead of precharged. My coolant has not noticeably gone down, and I still need the #8 figured out, remember it shot out milky stuff.

I told Derek to get his but over here and post them up. Lots of NW guys on this site
Damon, make sure you do pull out the oil cap and look for residue. That was just too strange what happened when we installed your injector o'rings. I am not confident that it is a LPOP or HPOP issue, I am thinking it could be something else.
He doesn't go anywhere...

Steve, no visual abnormality under coolant or oil cap.
To the rest, here is an update that I did today. I'd like someone to confirm that they agree I have a LPOP problem.
Truck has sat for 6 days, HPOP was 7/8 inch from top before starting.

After dying in first video, I checked HPOP, it was down to 1 1/8 inch from top, so it dropped a whole inch.
(Sorry about bad sound....you can tell it was doing the romp romp.....

I'm in the same boat but I'm going to try to swap my lpop out. Maybe you can hook up a gauge and monitor oil pressure during a cold start. I'm not sure what is normal pressure while cranking but the oil pressure sensor triggers around 7psi.
