 Are you sure you put the oil pressure relief piston in the right way? The cupped end points to the front of the car. It's easy to switch that and be very confused, with the flat end obstructing the passage.

In my experience it takes a long time for the pump to get going and generate pressure, and even then it kind of farts out some of the air and the pressure can go up and down a bit in the beginning. I don't have to worry because I have an accusump on it, so I can use that pressure to get the engine through the first few seconds. I also run a mechanical oil pressure gauge, so no help there in regards to your issue.

Did you fill up the oil filter with some oil?
