Default no oil pressure

So i recently swapped to an ms3 cam, new main bearings ported tsp oil pump double roller timing chain ls7 lifters comp dual valve springs new valve seats and got no oil pressure. Oil filter filled up, took valve cover off to make sure it wasnt my sensor n nothing. Replaced pick up tube o-ring n still nothing. Somebody please tell me its something dumb so i can just laugh at myself n fix it.

most common things are. O-ring being pinched , or your pick up tube not sitting right...the end of the pick-up tube should have around 3/4" clearance with the bottom of the oil pan ..you gonna have to go back and take a look at that.
