Had no oil pressure suddenly while driving highway speed. Units engine has a lot of tic and rattle noise especially at start up. But is loud as long as it's running. I have researched a bit and learned that oil pump can be faulty/weak and there's a change up. Also, that failure of cam phaser system parts can cause oil psi issues. I'm going to delete the cam phasing system. Can I get the procedures for doing that as well as oil pump replacement?

Yep, the timing chain guides break and can cause this noise. You can just replace the camshaft phasers with non-movable units.

Here is a video series that will show you how to do the job:
