I'm not sure pump oil pressure plays a very large part in keeping journals and bearing surfaces apart anyway. Do the math, the load is thousands of PSI across the bearing surface, and the thing that keeps them separate and oil in between is viscosity and the "wedge effect" of a plain bearing filled with oil....
