I just did a rebuild / Refresh and im going through the same thing. It starts out with good oil pressure and after it warms up oil pressure starts to drop and eventually goes to 0. So i pulled the pump the oring looked good but the pump was showing some scaring so I put my stock pump back in to no avail. Its doing the same thing with the stock pump but now it stayed at 0. I did have metal in the oil but after I pulled the pump i thought that is where it was coming from but apparently not.. If you come up with anything let me know.
well chevyman hope your luck is better then mine. all my main bearings are wiped out, so tomorrow it goes to the machine shop to see what can be saved, hopefully just some polishing and new bearings, nothing to bad on the cranks journals that i can see. and i'm still not sure why it did it in the first place the oil pressure never dropped before and i never had an issue. until the night where it just fell off, which i assume is when the bearings failed and was letting oil blow them.
