I have had trouble about every other oil change with the pump losing prime on my 450 BB. It has done that since we built the engine. The likely suspect is the relief valve. I finally pulled it out and chamfered the front edge a bit but have not changed oil since to see how that worked. Didn't seem to be any issue with maybe a leak in the pickup somewhere on mine. This is the second BB that has done this for me. Never did fix the first one. I would just pull the filter and squirt oil into the pump and it would work fine then. That's what I have done with this one too but it can't be good when you start it and it shows zero oil pressure.
