Oil pressure spike with clutch in

[BLOHS7844]

Just replaced valve cover because my pcv valve threads were stripped. Now, once in a while, when I push the clutch in, the oil pressure will max out quickly. It seems only to happen once in a while (like maybe every 5 or 10 times I push the clutch in). Could be a bad pressure sender because my oil pressure in the past has spiked randomly (pretty infrequently tho). I'm trying to convince myself that it's not crankwalk. It seems like the symptoms are kinda different than what they would be for crankwalk but I'm a little worried.

Do a oil pressure test, and see if both are consistent, then move on from there. Besides I have never trusted stock gauges with grain of salt. Could possibly be the "Oil Pressure Sensor/or the gauge", but check it before replacing/running into something that is not the problem. It could also be the following problems: blocked oil filter, oil gallery blockage, oil pump restricted. Just saying...do NOT jump to conclusions.
