Low oil pressure after overheating?

Low oil pressure after overheating?
I left my car idling for a while and it overheated. I noticed that the oil pressure was lower than normal afterwords but assumed it was coolant in the oil causing it since the head gasket blew. I replaced the head gasket but my oil pressure is still much lower than it was before overheating. I know its not a bad reading because I have lifter tick now as well which would indicate low oil pressure. Anyone know what could cause this? Is it save to drive about 10 psi lower than 'normal' at idle?
