Timinggears had been losing some plastic crumbs
how long had the engine been run with low pressure before you cleared the screen?
where is your oil pressure gauge plumbed too? where the idiot light sensor is plumbed?
basically, there are two primary possibilites:
1 - the pump is not generating pressure, in which case the gear teeth need to be clearanced ( especially on the sides ) and you need to double check the entire pickup to make sure that the entire line is clear AND that there are no holes or sealing problems
2 - the pump is generating pressure but the bearings are already shot and all of the oil pressure is being blown out around the first couple of mains bearings
Nailheads are not generally known for oiling problems so you might just want to plan on a basic teardown and new gaskets / bearings / rings.
