d16a6 block possibly bad
Reading 0 on oil pressure test. I've already done the head gasket and timing belt on it and have basically a rebuild kit worth of gaskets. Wondering if I should bother with doing a oil pump and checking my pressure from there with maybe some thicker oil (my oil in it is brand new, so I can test with what I have reused and/or buy new thicker oil) and retest pressure and work from there and maybe rebuild, buy a compatible block with the a6 head, or just wait, save and buy a swap. The cluster is reading 106k'ish but I just recently got it(with blown head gasket) the budget is tight and I will need to get a job, THEN start saving.
EDIT and my original question was going to be what blocks are compatible and best option. It's a daily. The only reason I say compatible and not a6 because they're not the easiest to Come across.

88-95 d series oil pumps will interchange with your engine. i would NOT keep using the vehicle if theres no oil pressure at idle, you'll just trash the bearings.
I haven't used it since I did the head gasket and the oil light was still on. And the test is saying 0 all the time but the light goes off with any bit of rev. I was just wondering if it'll even be worth it. But I'm thinking about just rebuilding for reliability. About to look into an oil pump and bearings now.
