My husband just changed the gasket on the oil pan. Now we have no oil pressure. He thinks he may have knocked something loose. He had to jack up the van to loosen the motor mounts. Any ideas?

He could have knock off the oil pick up tube or didn't connect the oil pressure switch back-if this is not the case check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge-if normal-change out the oil pressure switch-abnormal could be the oil pump/bearings/ galleries clogged- up etc-
