i need help with timing cover (K24E)and oil pump

[yankabilly72]

i changed my timing chain guides and tensioner put my motor back together and i don't have any oil pressure. the truck runs and starts well but it rattles. so i took the valve cover back off and started it. i could see the tensioner allowing the guide to move back and forth. my oil light is staying on. i took the oil pump back off, filled it with oil, started it and still the same thing is happening. i need help this is my work truck. it ran fine other than a small timing chain noise before i put the guides and tensioner in it. i made sure that the two oil seals that are in the cover are there but i didn't replace them. any info that will help would be good. thank you

Is the drive spindle installed? Is it correctly engaged with the distributor?

if it wasn't the truck wouldn't start because the dis. wouldn't spin. the truck runsjust no oil press.

i still need help. i tore it back down today and the guide was killed again so i took it back. when i put it back together can i leave the coil unpluged and start it untill it builds oil pressure ?
