That may address the cooling issue, but the massive loss of oil pressure should not be an effect of pure overheating. Oil pressure won't be that affected by engine temperature unless the engine is REALLY hot to the point of cracking or heat-seizing. This should be especially true in a new (healthy) engine.

Actually, I had two main bearings seize in my '54 sedan engine, due to incorrect adjustment. The engine lost oil pressure and also overheated, due to the bearing failure.
