It was the oil seal in the oil-filter relocation kit.
(Basically the spring holds down an oil seal where the filter used to be.)

I see,and this caused a lack of oil pressure?The pump was pumping,but not being forced into the block? One of my Atoms has the relocation kit and maybe it is worth looking at this seal...
