No the rocker setup is just like chevy's each one has a bolt to hold to head, oil's thru pushrods like chevy's, now that is one thing i haven't looked at, the mounting of pump to rear main might be something there oil spraying back to pan Hmmmm, Well, Well

i posted my problem exactly like this, with a sbc, that turned out to be a oil galley plug with a minor leak, but when the oils warm it squirted out which lost all oil pressure

X2, have you checked to see if the rear main cap is cracked. I'm not a mopar person although i've owned and rebiult a couple of them. I don't see a solution without pulling the bottom end down and looking at everything. If the lifters are banging at idle then i don't think it's the gage.

Does the engine have galley plugs behind the timing cover like the small block Chevy. If it does, I would agree with KWKRACING and MANIAC that it may be the problem. There is no obvious leak that is visible, but the oil is not going to go to the top end.
