'08 Tahoe

Does this sound stupid? Remove the oil pressure sensor and the screen and then start the Tahoe to eject any gunk that might be living under the oil pressure sensor?

Rent a pressure gauge and take an actual reading?

Not a good idea in my opinion. Besides making a huge mess, all of the oil for the engine flows through that gallery before it gets to the cam and bottom end bearings.

Problem was a lot worse then I thought... It was oil pump because the motor seized up on me this weekend. And there was no oil in any of the other cylinders upon inspection but plenty of oil in the pan along with metal shavings
