They are the most likely things. My 18rc (HM 5 Star recon 50,000km ago) loses oil pressure to the head anywhere below 900 RPM (moved oil pressure sender to head). I reckon during the rebuild they remachined everything and them didn't use undersize bearings, so it leaks like a bitch inside the engine. In hot weather when it gets a beating (temp reaches 1/2 way mark) it loses oil pressure to the head then too but below 1500 RPM. I am glad this engine came with the car, if I'd paid for it I would be pissed, the work done was really, really SHIT. Brett, you'd be right about the dizzy not running the oil pump, it is the little dummy shaft that does it. Oil delivery is kinda important so make sure you check very thoroughly the cam welsch plugs and the little bolt/oil squirter just under the top timing damper on the head.
