Thnx. Found it, replaced it, but still no good. I'm still getting zero on the gauge, & the valves are tapping. Any ideas????

Could it have something to do with oil filter? Using a Puralotor Pure 1.

IMO you've either got a plugged passage or a bad oil pump. If it were mine I'd pull the pan and check the pump and pick-up before running it anymore and possibly causing further damage. JMO

Yup, that's my plan. I didn't prime the pump either, & after doing some research I should have done that as well. When I changed the oil, & had pan off, she had a bunch of sludge. I cleaned off a good portion, but I'll have to flush her out if I ever get this figured out.
