I just resealed the oil pan and changed the water pump. I changed the oil and filled the car with antifreeze. When I restarted the car the valves are rapping really bad and the low oil pressure light came on. I an thinking that the oil is not flowing through the engine. Any suggestions?

It cold be the filter isn't very good causing this or if you took the oil suction tube off you may have not got the seal on correctly and it's leaking there or sucking air instead of operating properly. I wouldn't run it to long as to not damage cams /lifters.
