Default Low Oil Pressure??Please Help!!!

Pretty much today i sarted up my car to brake in the new crank, pistons, rods and bearings, my mid's and ORY.... The oil pressure guage was only 1/4 over (20-25) and sometimes sat on 0...What could this be caused by? My oil prssure regulator? Any thoughts??

Did you remember to install this plastic plug in the rear of the block?

With this part missing, it will cause low or now oil pressure.

There's also a new updated plug that prevents it from backing out.
