the oil pressure switch is less than an inch in diameter and isn't going to give you a good visual point for inspecting the internals of the block.. how about doing an oil change and or coolant flush to see what kinda crud comes out..

The oil switch port should be clear and have no blockage or restriction.. but some buildup might be considered normal..
