Two things you might try:
1. Call the professional and seek his advice. See if he is missing any
of his brushes he uses to clean galleries.
2. Connect air pressure hose at the oil pressure hole in the block and
reverse flow to see if blockage is removed.
Hope for the best otherwise the engine may have to come out.
