34 is babbitt mains. So there could be shims to remove.

To me the oil pressure doesn't sound bad, 0 is bad, pretty normalish on a regular old engine. We tend to over do things. But It wouldn't effect cylinder pressure, which is a bit low.

You could remove the pan and clean the pickup screen and/or at the same time change out the oil pump spring. Off hand I wouldn't be to worried about the oil pressure.

They all leak a little oil. or not... depends on whom you ask. If power is good, run it.
