Low oil preasure help!!!!

Well my wife was driving home and the car started studering and jerking really bad. She gave it more gas and it died right as she pulled into our parking lot. She tried to restart and it wouldn't completely turn over. So 2 hours later after I got home I went out and tried to start it. It started right up but the engine sounded really noisey. The low oil pressure light was also on in the lower left corner of the dash. I shut the engine off and checked oil level, it was fine. I asked my wife if she had noticed the low oil pressure light on or the noisey engine. She didn't remember either of them happening before.
Recent history: I had a broke timing chain about 1 month ago. Replaced chain and also put a used head on the engine, because old valves were bent. I repacked the oil pump with grease and it looked just fine. I have also put about 600 hiway miles on the car sence the timing chain got replaced. I know I need to check the oil pressure realief valve but what else? I don't really think that its an electrical short sence the engine is running so loud. I think there really is low oil preasure. What else can I do? Is it time to park the car for good?
Thanks, Micah
