Run ‘er.

If you have oil pressure, why would you be afraid the top end isn’t getting lubrication. Hydraulic lifters, right? If you had no oil... you’d know.

Remember... it’s just a car.

Oil pressure will be high if the galleries are plugged/restricted. If the car has an oil pressure gauge installed, check to see if there is high backpressure. If it has no pressure gauge, it is a minor issue to pull the covers.
