I hope you won't be put off by my armchair quarterback style advice, but I think it would be VERY prudent to check your oil pressure with a wet guage. Have you at least changed your oil pressure sender to see if it changes? I personaly would not spend another penny untill I knew without a doubt what my oil pressure really was. A wet guage could easily be adapted (they make all
kinds of thread adapters) to fit at least temporarily to get a true reading. You probably are low, but to know for sure would be a good thing.
