if your oil light is on you have basically no oil pressure, it only turns on when you're below 5 lbs or pressure.

Did you replace your guides when you did the chain? My g20 has a timing chain rattle noise but its actually the power steering pump pulley wobbling.

yes i did, the timing kit came with all new guides pulley washers everything i needed.but today i pulled the valve cover off and noticed the chain was off the guide a little bit and that the guide could actually move from side to side along with the chain . thats not normal is it? is there any way to tighten it up?
