"(had to replace a broken timing cover)".....thie is almost certainly the source of your problem...getting the oil pickup tube seated is a pain with the engine on the bench and with the oil pump OFF the timing cover you can verify that the tube is in place. I cannot imagine doing this easily with the engine in the car. Only advice in addition to trying the pressure relief valve cleanout is that you pull the oil pump off again and look to make sure the pickup tube is seated properly inside the timing cover WITH the O ring seal in place...any deep scoring of the oil pump gears will also mean you need a new pump as a rusult of running the engine...and the pump...dry for however long you already have..(squealing noise?). Swarf from that dying pump will have to be cleared out and I hate to say it, but you may have already cooked your bottom end...hope not...but first thing now is to pull the pump and see whats what!
best of luck....
