 Finally had the battery driven wrench in. Took the drive belt off, all spark plugs out, distributor fitted and spun the aux pulley. I noticed it became harder for the battery driven wrench to turn it around once I saw oil coming up at the cams. I gave a bit more and decided it should be sufficient.

Then fitted the drive belt and with all 4 spark plugs out, I cranked the engine several times. I was still getting oil to the cams, but zero reading on the oil pressure gauge inside the cockpit.

Pulled the oil pressure line at the engine and saw no oil whatsoever. I realise there is usually air and oil in the oil pressure line. This could mean little or no oil towards the crank or a faulty oil pressure gauge?

I'm at a loss right now. Any one any ideas what to do next?
Should I spin it some more with the drive belt off and also with the oil pressure line off at the block until oil comes out there?

Appreciate your help guys.
