3-5 psi at idle is minimal, but probably sufficient. 30 psi is plenty. With no scoring on the crank, if you stick a new set of rod and main bearings in it ( and fix the oil pump ) it will be better than it was.

As mentioned before, it would be nice to check the crank for oval journals, but if they were, would it be worthwhile having it reground ? Would it be any worse than before the oil pump failed ? My guess is the answer to both questions is 'no'. The engine is already on a stand, what have you got to lose ?

How did the oil pump fail ?
