The relief valve spring cover, should be tightened fully, fill the pump with oil when assembling. Before fitting the oil pump spiral gear drive, located on the side of the block, use a broad blade screwdriver to rotate the oil pump(2-3 litres of oil in sump), and listen to all the air being pushed out as the oil fills your crankshaft,camshaft etc. probably 20 to 30 turns of the pump. When the engine is installed in the car, remove spark plugs, and crank the engine over for 30-60 seconds on the starter, this will ensure that you do not "dry start" the engine.
Good luck with the rebuild.
