the 123 has mechanical guage, so if its not showing anything, it really
doesnt have anything. Did you check the oil level?

If you've run that now a few times (and rev'd it up to boot) with no oil

anything flailing around inside the engine if the lubrication has failed.
Of course, it could be a failure of the sensor/indicator for oil pressure,
but most of the time, no one can be that lucky!

Just started it again today and paid attention to the oil pressure. Let
it run for about 10-15 seconds, and the oil pressure never moved off of
zero. Ran the RPM's up to about 2k, and nothing. Could this be the
reason 10 years ago they thought there was a hole in the block, no oil
pressure? Could that be causing the knocking we hear?
