So....when you placed the timing cover on the engine...how did you make sure the pickup tube was located in the hole in the back of the timing cover with it's seal???? My guess is it got pushed out against itself and is NOT in place correctly. Yake a look at an engine diagram...bottom end. You'll see the tube bolts to 2 of the main bearing caps and is then pushed into the back of the timing cover with a seal so that the pump can be supplied from the sump. As I wrote earlier...this is really hard to make sure of a good seal with the engine in the car...it's a bit of a bugger on the bench actually. Rather than roast your engine any further,i would pull the oil pump once more, and look lower left timing cover area from UNDER the car with a mirror to see if you can find the end of the pickup tube inserted in it's recess.
