Engine Oil Light on at Idle....

Thread Starter
I bought a used f20c block and had it freshened up with all new bearings, rings, and seals. I was skeptical about the old oil pump so I went with a new ap2 oil pump. We took the opportunity to upgrade the head with ap2 retainers and had the valves cleaned up with new valve seals. It should prove to be a good long term motor hopefully.

With the parts you mentioned replaced it will be as good as new
So don't forget to use crappy dino for at least 5k miles to get everything seated and broken-in properly.
IOW: the break-in procedure.
But...
Your old motor (and the oil you were using - just to throw that out there) wasn't bad or short term, UNTIL it, the engine, suffered from oil starvation.
If you take your as good as new motor through the same, using no matter what oil, the same will happen, again and again.

For the oil filter, I use a oversize filter on my "S"
Here are some pic's of my Baldwin with a Honda and a Wix filter for the "S"

With a filter this big it will flow a lot of oil before it goes into by-pass.
