Did you break in the cam? If you didnt run the cam in you may have wiped a lobe off of the cam. This could cause the oil pressure issue as well. Change your oil and see if there is any metal there.

The cam was used and I poured a very liberal amount of 10W-40 and Marvel Mystery Oil (I had some laying around lol) all over it before I stuck it in. Besides hydraulic roller cams don't need break-ins. I did pull the cam out yesterday and it looked 100% normal.
