Hi. I just got my engine back in after a new crank, bearings, and head. Now that it's back in and runs, my oil pressure light is on. I pulled the o/p switch and turned the engine over. Pumped oil out. Also tried a new switch. Still have a light. What now? Is there another way to check if I actually do have oil pressure? Thanks.

Where would I get one? I looked at Autozone. I thought someone made something like that, but they only had fuel pressure and compression testers. Thanks
