Sent you a PM regarding the rebuilding / clean-up of the pivot points.

Finally got around to removing the oil pressure gauge; can anyone here help guide me through the steps needed to get it working properly again? Nothing about the gauge seems broken, I can move the needle very easily and it doesn't seem to stick at all.

Of course that makes me think it's something more serious...............ugh.

Try looking at the oil filter bypass valve above the oil filter, maybe the bypass valve is clogged or stuck shut thereby raising the oil pressure, just a thought, without pulling the engine. Don.
