Default truck doesnt idle well

Ok i just had a inframe dome on a 2001 freightliner witha 475 isx. I idles very ruff, and seems to have weird vibrations around 60. my oil pressure is only about 30psi.

The overhead set was done wrong.

Why, is 30 low? What is it normally?

Default Isx-475 running rough

Has it been running rough sense you got it back or did it start sometime after you got it back ?
Sounds like a bad metering or timing actuator (possibly?)
If the engine runs on after it is shout off it could possibly be an injector check ball not seating = you will need a new injector to fix that.
Was this "Rebuild" done at a Cummings dealer OR distributor ??
=== eather way you should take it back and have that Tec. check it out.

It should be around 35 to 45 psi. I hAd the overhaul at a Cummins dealer.

This is too easy... it just had an in-frame, now you have rough idle and low oil pressure - TAKE IT BACK!!!
