sounds like the pressure regulator in pump is stuck open

I agree with twister also had a bad oil filter do the same thing once the da m thing would suck in and squeeze off the oil flow you could shut the motor off wait 5 min refire to good pressure and then it would start bouncing around again. once I changed it we had no more trouble.

Does the pump have a high volume pressure section. Aluminum engines need more volume because of more internal pressure losses.
