No Oil Pressure

Help!

I have a 91 nissan PU (KA24E engine)with just under 300,000 km and the front cover had worn through due to a worn out chain guide and water was mixing with the oil. I just repaired the front cover and replaced the timing chain and guides. I also changed the oil and filter but for some reason the oil light is on and there doesn't seem to be any active lubrication on the valve train. At first I forgot to prime the oil pump, but I have since primed it twice and it appears there is still no pressure. I then dropped the oil pan and removed the chunks of old chain guide from the bottom of the pan. The oil strainer also appeared clean.

Is there anything else I should be looking at?? Where do I go from here. I would appreciate any of your thoughts.

Thanks, Brian

did you use new o ring seals or reuse the old ones.

Maybe I missed something....but which o-rings are you referring to?

First, pull the oil filter and crank the engine over, do you get oil? If not and cranking for a while doesn't produce any oil there, sometimes I've had to put air pressure into the crankcase (compressed air blown into the oil cap sealing it with a rag) while cranking to get oil to get to the pump and prime it. Once you get oil at the filter, reinstall the filter and crank till the light goes out.
