Damon;
    Put a voltmeter across the starter motor and check the
voltage as it cranks. Maybe you are loosing some electrons
at a bad ground or solonoid. After that take it to a FLAPS
that can check the cranking current (they will do it for
free!) . Possibly a bad starter.

I would wait until it is broken in(I hate that choice of
words) to worry about the oil pressure.
