Default oil pressure problem

hey all, have a problem, i changed the oil on my car and when i started it up the oil light stayed on.

i checked the level and it was fine, don't know if something is clogging the passages. i am going to pressure test it when i get the pressure gauge

any ideas??

thanks

**** **** ****, the problem was the damn k&n oil filter. did not allow oil to flow and cause my cam bearings to get fcuked, put back a stock honda oil filter and changed the oil. got alot of brass metal shavings from the oil.
**** **** ****, i'm pissed off.

car still runs decent, i will changed the oil and oil filter another two times this week to get out all the brass shavings. then i will see how bad the damage is.

******* k&n filter, do not use if you have a B&M oil filter relocation kit on

bad K&N oil filter, was restricting the oil flow somehow. i have used the k&n oil filter in the stock location but never with the oil relocation kit.
when i put on a new honda oil filter.....bam oil pressure light went out and i had oil pressure.
something so simple, but i never would of thought, partly my fault
