oil hole way blocked as i would say pump, but its a new pump and you only got this problem since you put on the head, and depending on how long it has been run dry it is not going to be pretty on the caps, was it sold to you and you rebuilt it or something different, id suggest you rebuild the old head and put it back on

if your oil light is flashing you must have low oil pressure or lack of oil but as said i would change the head or at least the exhaust cam and lifters

There will probably be some cr*p in the pickup in the sump
