Subject:87 rebuild update

OK...volks...update on the 87 rebuild:
Got the two new oil pressure sensors on last week.
Got the new fuel lines on the other night.
Out for a test drive last night.
Still getting the oil light and buzzer, although not as bad or quickly
as before.
There seems to be very little oil leaking into the spark plugs. I put on
new rings with the rebuild.
I did use a teflon additive...could this be causing the leakage?
(I have since heard that this is not a good thing to have in your car.)

-->next step...
Will buy compression tester and oil pressure guage this weekend.

Any advice?
Thanks!
