not sure, but its cheaper to try an oil pump rather than shells etc

pressure should be 2.8bar at 2k revs, from cold will be higher, idle around 1.6bar from a standard pump

cant see it being big ends as theyre not fed oil under pressure unlike the crank main bearings, if you had a main bearing shell badly worn or scored in the right place it could allow oil to drain straight back to sump lowering oil pressure but its ulikely.
