R56 n14 with low oil pressure after cylinder head replacement
So I replaced the cylinder head on my n14 because of 2 burnt valves, I also replaced the timing chain, valve cover and oil pump. I made sure to use the cam locking tool to get the timing right. My problem is that when I start it up, I immediately get the red oil pressure light. Other then that everything runs fine and it's in time. I removed the valve cover and run it and there is no oil getting to the head, I checked the oil filter housing for oil and it is filling up. I don't know where to go from here. Head gasket isnt right? Clogged oil passage? Bad bearings? Any help is appreciated

I had a similar issue with my N18 engine back in the day. my good friend suggested I pour the oil all over the head not through the fill cap. make sure you pour over the cams, rockers, lifters and the bottom surface. there is an oil passage close to head bolt #8 (top left corner). when you do that, hand spin it clockwise so you can see it coming up.

+1 and if that does not work make sure the oil pick up does not have something blocking the little screen.
