I've already contacted two shops requesting they fix it. One thinks oil pump or timing chain guides. The other hasn't responded yet, but the second shop is less than 100 miles from my house and I have AAA towing up to 100 miles. Also I got the second recommendation from a friend and they're classic bmw specialists.
Anyways, I got the engine from a close friend, saw it running days before it was pulled. I have full confidence it was 100% fine before it was pulled, other than the aforementioned timing chain rattle.
Maybe it's the oil pump, but idk how that would happen. Maybe I installed the timing chain tensioner wrong, and the oil sensor broke or is hooked up wrong so it's reading 0 while it is actually getting pressure. All I know is that I haven't driven my car in 7 months and I'm pissed as fuck. Never been so frustrated and fed up ever.
