do yourself a favor and read through everything in the link i posted, there are tons of different and odd reasons why people lost oil pressure. I would first start out by hooking up a mechanical valve to make sure your car is reading the pressure correctly. If you tear into it there are multiple things you can check so you dont have to keep getting back into it. Good luck

Did you check the welsh plug while the front cover was off? If its not sealing properly the oil pressure will drop due to the oil being drained back into the oil pan.

Did you check the tolerance? I ask because I know he said the engine was built, This plug is removed while machine work is being done to clean out the main oil gallery and it has happend. Thats why some of us add a little bit of insurance to that
