Oil Pressure Light on E30 S52

Running it for a few mins won't get the oil up to temp enough to really be able to bleed off the lifters. I recently cleaned my lifters (pain in the ass btw) and bled them before installing. The car was all clickty clack until I drove it around and let the oil get hot. By the time I got home, probably a 20 min drive, it was normal.
Also, I thought that while 5psi idle is low, it's not world ending. I always thought as long as you have some pressure at idle it's ok. It's far more important to have the right pressure increase with rpm.
Did you up the oil viscosity and test again?

The sensor in oil filter housing is just a switch, that activates at certain oil pressure and lights up the oil pressure warning. It's not oil pressure sensor that can sense different pressures. So if you guys use the oil pressure sensor that came with the engine, and not one from m20. It will trigger at correct oil pressure. If your oil pressure light is flickering, you have too low oil pressure (or the sensor itself is broken).

The engine block was disassembled and the S52 oil squirters were not in the bottom end. They're little misters that spray oil up under the pistons.
I took the crank out, but them in and buttoned the motor up again.'87 325ic, powered by S50.
