i have a 2007 denali with 97k miles. i recently changed the oil pan gasket because of a leak. i swapped the whole pick up tube with a new tube and o-ring. i also blocked off the oil relief valve.
now the issue. my friend (the mechanic) found 2 small pieces of metal which be believes are from the cam bearings. does my oil pressures reflect bad cam bearings?

my cold psi is great at 60 psi. my cruising psi seems to be around 35-40 psi depending on RPM. my hot idle after a decent trip is around 15 psi.

i just found out i can get an oil pressure gauge on my torque app. the video posted shows the idle psi as well as revving it in neutral. i will get another video if the pressure when im actually driving.

Unfortunately we didn't take any photos. 1 piece was pretty small to tell where it's from. The other be believes had copper on it. My Denali did not come with afm from factory.
