I pulled the oil filter and its dry as a bone so I now know its either the pump or the o-ring.Is there a way to put on the head gaskets wrong as to cover the oil flow?

Is the battery fully charged? Is the motor spinning pretty fast? Also, how long did the motor sit since it was last running?
I had to pack my pump with a little bit of lube to get suction so it would pull the oil out of the pan. And crank the motor fast until we seen oil up top.

This makes sense to me I think I'm gonna try this next cus it has been sitting for about a year.I sprayed the whole thing down with oil and lubed what I could.I'm afraid to turn it on now or even turn it over
