Eliminate the gauge. Do you have another one? If not, take the fitting out of the hole, and turn it over with your starter. Oil should shoot out the hole. That can be messy so use a rag over it, or hook a line up to it and point the line to a rag or can.
Just removed the fitting for the gauge and cranked the engine over by crossing the starter relay. NO oil at all coming out of the hole.
How do you remove the oil shaft?
The shaft will turn when I crank the starter over and all of the valves are opening and closing as the motor turns over.
