you should have oil on dipstick before you start the motor- is the level correct

and do you not have oil pressure- or not have oil pressure guage?

if you do NOT have oil pressure- stop the motor. get a pro before your motor is destroyed.

I had put oil in it. It was full before start up it shows it then it drops to 0 and oil comes out air filter.

Think I have it figured out. Oil pump pumps it up and back the return side is not operating and keeping oil in the top end.

How many miles on the motor? Have the original cam chain tensioners been replaced. They can disintegrate and can clog up the oil pump.
