could head gasket cause 0 oil pressure?

I have posted recently on my situation...the shop has further notified me of a blown head gasket in the motor....could this affect my oil pressure enough for the car to drop to 0 oil pressure.? Or is there more problems?

On back of the drivers side head, there is a plug there that sends oil pressure readout to your dash. My wire is broken, a friends is broken also, so that could be the cause if its not simply just unhooked.

a head gasket will not affect your oil pressure

I told you that wasnt related

Still cant believe you drove for a minute or two with 0 oil pressure. Im willing to bet you screwed some stuff up inside your motor

well the engine stalled out at 0 psi...i doubt its the gauge...but could easily be the oil pump. THe pressure was jumpin around a few days before...always high though...like idleing at 40psi instead of 20 and ****
