hey did you ever get that oil pressure thing figured out

i have almost the same pressure symptoms

45 at start at the engine warms pressure drops to 0 at idle and 20-30 at 3krpm

but i only have any ticking when the oil gets a quart low pretty much a audible low oil

indicator

im just wondering if i need to replace my oil pump or if it is just a seal issue or if this is just how the gauges read
