Sounds like trouble - perhaps another is needed now,

That most likely leads to something done wrong in the assembly. Could be main bearing installed improperly, pump installed improperly..... any number of things.

Zillions of possibilities. Some American Iron doesn't put oil fast thru push rods and may be ok but can't say. Take a separate oil pressure test or it will be game over for this engine! Lack of lubrication is sometimes ONE minute! New to junk!

How long has it run with little or no oil pressure? This junkyard block could be toast already or was when you got it,
