Rebuilt motor. Starts right up and idles smooth. Problem is after about 1 minute, the oil pressure idiot warning light starts to flicker and then comes on steady. I shut the engine down immediately. Happens everytime I start it. Good thing I smeared the bearings and journals with a lot of moly lube. What would cause a sudden drop in pressure like that everytime it starts? No blockages, new filter and full with oil...............
