A simple oil pressure gauge like this for $15 will tell you whether the bottom end of your engine and oil pump is healthy or not.  You don't need to permanently attach it.  But do make sure the engine is warmed up well when you test it.

You need a double banjo bolt like this

You also need a short piece of hose with a 5/16 banjo on it and a 3an to !/4npt adapter

20 bucks for these pieces, tops.

Replace the single banjo bolt on left hand rocker feed with the new double banjo bolt  to attach the line for the oil pressure gauge.

It's good practice to always check the oil pressure on a newly purchased bike.

I see your address is Denton TX.  I would highly recommend you get in touch with Keith Martin at Big D Cycle in Dallas if you need help.  He's an acknowleged expert on all things Brit bike.
