I wouldn't experiment with shims in the main bearings. The same goes for your rod bearings. Get some plasti-gauge and shim the bearings for the proper clearance - probably around .002 - leave those alone once you get the proper clearance. Otherwise, check those items the others have recommended.

What about Camshaft bearings?Did you replace them? They have alot to do with oil pressure.

Check & make sure that you did not inadvertantly throw the tube that goes up in the center of the oil filter away w/ old oil filter. If this tube is missing you will have VERY LOW oil pressure.

at the front of the cam shaft in the timing gear, there is a spring loaded plug (in the middle of the cam shaft hole). make sure it got put back inside. oil is routed down this hole from back of the engine.
