I removed the cam covers from 90 #116, which was flooded, abused and overheated but the guides were untouched.

The only way I know to test oil pressure is to put the whole thing back together, hook a test gauge up, and start the engine. I'm not opposed to doing that but at this point it has been suggested to disassemble further...
The gauge in the cluster always showed decent pressure however I know they aren't accurate.
There seems to be no signs of oil starvation in the top end (aside from the missing upper guides.)
Is it possible that the hydraulic tensioners are faulty? Is there any way for me to remove them and inspect them for proper function without damaging anything?
