volvo 850 oil light flickering
hello everyone i am new here and would like some help with my 850. Recently i overhauled the engine put new rod bearing and had it bored and honed. as well as new pistions. when i first started it, it ran fairly good except for the tappets making noise but i thought this was normal. after 40 miles the tappets were still making noise and the oil light began flickering. I replaced the oil pan o rings with no luck. i also took the pump apart to check that and still nothing. I have a feeling a main bearing might have been put in the wrong spot. What should i do next to confirm this? what should i do from this point on?
any help is appreciated thank you.

Stop running it until you figure it out. Only run it for diagnosis as limited as possible.
If it didn't clear up after 5 minutes, but 40 surely would get any air out of the system.
If it's making noise you don't really need to do a physical psi test as the ticking is telling you either you don't have enough pressure and or volume.
Why did you overhaul ?? Was there any problem with ticking or oil pressure before you rebuilt it ??
Was there metal in the pan and did you clean or replace the pickup ??

there was some metal but not much i thought it could be from the overhaul process.
