It could be that your journal clearances are out of tolerance or could be as simple a defective oil pump. I would have to guess that it’s your journal clearances but I don’t claim to be an expert at anything in life. Maybe some of the other engine guys could chime in?
I'd try a different gauge 1st. What weight oil are you using?? Is the gauge mechanical or electric. Electric ones are not super accurate.
If it was truely only 2-3 psi with load on the engine it would have already spun a bearing or locked up. I'm betting on a faulty gauge.
