You wouldn't think pressure would be an issue now.

Rich: mind explaining how you made that test cord?

Here's a pic of my test cord. I used two 180 ohm resistors in parallel to equal roughly ~90 ohms of resistance. That description of a clogged oil pump screen would concern me. Have you cut open your oil filter? I would do that to check for any debris getting through the oil galley and possibly through the bypass.
