Default Oil pressure gauge?

Hi- I am still fighting with the noisy lifters on the 98 V70.
Did the o ring cure didnt help.
Plenty of oil flippin around on top of the cams, all over my shirt etc when I open the filler cap!
I would like to put an oil pressure gauge on this and see what the pressure is- but I cant figure out where..
Is there a port on the head that I can measure oil pressure in the cam galley?
I want to check before I attempt to replace the lifters which doesnt look like too much fun...

In the picture below the red arrow points to the factory oil pressure light. Remove that and install a gauge and start it and look at the pressure.

When you put the sending unit in that place you better use the right size adapter for it. Otherwise you'll leak oil.

Don't ask me how I know.

The EPA already knows all about it, they're still looking for you. They want to know why anybody has a Volvo named "Exxon Valdez II".
