Default Need Help with a 2000 Road King

Hey Group,it's been a while,and glad the forum is still up,and looking good. I got a 2000 road King with a stock 88.The cam tensioners,were making racket,so i had them replaced,along with the bearing's,and everything was all good.Afterward put about 2566 miles on her;then she had to go into storage,for 3 months.Well got her out,and checked all the regular thing's to bring her out,and cranked it.the oil light wouldn't go out,and it was full of oil,so then it started to rattle,so killed it checked my bases again.just to be sure pulled plugs and cleaned+gapped,changed fuel still oil pressure light on.What do ya'll think?/

How bad were the tensioners? Possible that some of the plastic got into the oil pump or blocking the pick up...

Use an oil pressure gage to check the pressure, If you don't have one just take the return line off the bag ie: tank, put it in a can or something like that, start it up, if oil is pumping it will come out.

Rent a gauge from Autozone or other parts store. I wouldn't run the bike before finding out whats up.

Question.
Oil. Change should have been done 500 miles after work was done?
Plastic and metal pieces remain in the engine. Good luck
