Excessive bearing clearance, cam bearings are the usual cause of this but you should run an oil pressure test just to be certain it’s not just the sender. If the oil pressure drops even with a test unit then engine work in required or just sell it.

Sounds like you are either low on oil or the new pump is not sensing properly, making it send a signal when it is not really in need if oil.
