Lets deal with the oil pressure, hook up a mechanical gauge and check the actual oil pressure-could be the oil pump is failing-Any weird knocking noises before it went haywire?

No knocking before engine quit running. A whezzing noise is made due turning over of engine. As the engine is trying to start asmall increase in oil pressure is notred. will get a compession check as well as iol pressure check. not sure what to look for.
