So my car has been with an independent mechanic for a few days now and he tested the oil control valve, solenoid, sensor and a few other things and they are all working. He's noticing very low oil pressure in the left head when the engine is warm and is coming to the conclusion that it might be a bad head or head gasket problem.

Any ideas or suggestion what to do? I wasn't expecting such a huge problem to come out of this!

just an update - there was a crack in the left head and had to get it replaced.
