put a manual gauge on this to make sure you have good pressure. then if it's ok replace the pressure switch. this cold be a bad oil filter as they cause this sometimes.

While replacing the bearings, the oil strainer had to be removed. If you do not have sufficient pressure then that is where you should be looking at, the strainer and its gasket.
