First thing i would do, is hook up a mechanical oill pressure gauge and see what the oil pressure actually is.

Also, low oil pressure may indicate worn main bearings. Since you bought it used i would check either way.

Yeh, the ralliarts used to have that problem. Oil pressure switch would eventually fail and cause the low oil pressure light to come on during idle.
