Engine is just rebuil after rod knock has new rod and main bearing, oil pump shimed 6mm and clearences cheked .
And there is no oil pressure at idle on idle it is only about 0.1 bar at at 3000rpm it is 2.3bar . What can be the problem for this low oil pressure?

Did you plastigauge (sp) the bearings before you put it back together? Did you have the crank polished, mains honed? Is the rest of the oil system stock? IE oil cooler or remote mount filter? Is your mechanical sending unit in the factory sending unit hole?

Check oil lines, this could be the problem.

I forgot to clamp the 2 oil ports on top of the valve covers
and i didnt have any oil pressure at all, i put clamps on them and
my oil pressure was perfect.

little things can screw up everything.

But thats just what it "could" be or hope it would be.

good luck.

EDIT: Do you have any oil leaks? ie: Oil puddles under your car in the morning etc?
