Default Lq4 oil problems

Hello everyone I'm kinda new to the Ls world or lq world whatever. My question is I have a 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500hd motor and I can't get oil to my rocker arms. I recently rebuild the top end new heads,intake and throttle body everything else is stock. I pulled the valve cover yesterday to see if I was getting oil to the top when I start it

Motor was sitting outside for a couple months so I rebuilt the top send recently got a new oil pump so I'm getting oil to filter and some to oil pressure gauge but not enough to read on the gauge and none to the rockers

When you rebuilt the top, did you replace the lifters and clean out the pushrods...?

Yes, I'm just thinking I should start it and see if I get oil to the lifters that way. I will leave the valve covers off.
