Oil Pressure drop
I just finished putting a new cam and lifters in my car and now I have another issue. What happens is the car runs fine with good oil pressure around 40 and then after running for about 5 mins or so it drops to 0. I plan on dropping the oil pan and checking the filter this weekend but can there be another issue besides that? Starts off fine so I'm hoping is just a clogged filter. Any other things I should look for.

What kind of oil are you running?
If it's too thin, you'll get issues. How many miles are on the engine? When the bearings wear, you need thicker oil in there because the thinner oil just slips right out of the bearings because of the worn tolerances.
