Narrative:

Post maintenance test flight on J3 cub with newly overhauled engine.after takeoff; engine oil pressure dropped to 0. Knowing the oil pressure probe was working and calibrated; I knew the engine actually had dropped oil pressure. I shut down the engine for fear of engine seizure and performed an uneventful engine-out landing at ZZZ.it was found that two of the components in the engine were out of tolerance and not overhauled.
