With a low pressure oil condition, the valves will tap.
The oil light goes off with only

2.1psi ! .
On the top of the engine block, almost under the alternator, on the passenger side of the car, is the stock oil pressure sender. If you install a 1/8"npt "T", and install an oil pressure guage evan if you leave it on the engine, you will know what your pressure is.
