While the pan is off, make sure the oil pickup is tight, and if you have a girdle, make sure the oil pickup extension is seating on the gaskets. The pickup extension sometimes has to be fitted to the girdle. The girdle has to be clearanced and the side of the adapter may need to be ground down where it touches the girdle. You may not have that problem if the pan rails were not machined down to witin .005 of the caps. Mine were, and the extension would not fit without modification. An air leak at the pickup will drop the pressure way down at idle, but the pressure will come up when you rev it, especially with a High volume pump.
