Murf.. First.. Have you put an mechanical oil pressure gauge to the engine by oil filter.. What other work have you done to engine?? If you removed the head the head gasket will go on 2 ways the wrong way will block the oil passages to head.. Did you leave the plastic cover on the oil filter when you changed it?? Try a different oil filter.. Did you put a turbo on and drill hole for oil return line?? if so might have drilled to far into oil pan and put a hole in the oil pick up tube.. With lifter noise let run then shut down for 15 sec. and restart doing that seems to oil up the lifters..
