As you have put the engine back in
Could you have mixed up the oil pressure sender wires when reconnecting everything?

one is the 0.9bar (yellow) and the other is 0.3bar ( blue/black)

no well just sorted it all wired fine i was told to prime the system by taking the oil filter or and filling it with oil and the filter feed pipe worked a treat also the noise was the tappets they have now shut up but the van wont drive i think it will need setting up again and i have an induction leak to find so i will leave it till tomorrow now.
