Could the AMSOIL be to SLICK for break in? I know LUCAS is not recommened for break in oil. 

NO.  Synthetics are fine for "break-in".  There are a few diehards out there, Lucas obviously included, that still hold on to that old wives tale that synthetic is "too slick".  If that was the case, I don't think you would see so many auto companies using syn as factory fill.

If an engine isn't "broken-in" at 2700 miles, it isn't going to be "broken-in".  I would start looking at a controlled consumption test to determine an accurate useage level, and then go from there.  Who did the rebuild, and what do they have to say about the situation?

I agree with Don, the low oil pressure may have a lot more to do with low idle speed than anything else.  One quart low on oil should not starve the pump for oil at idle.
