Think hard, when reassembling were all oil gallery plugs reinstalled? There are 3 hidden plugs, 1 will let you know immediately. Front and back of engine block along the main line with the filter. The most forgotten gallery plug that results in ZERO pressure on the guage is the small plug directly below the sensor and filter in the oil pan. Try remembering if you put that puppy back in, without it the oil is picked up by the pump and redeposited in the pan prior to filtration.
