I found out why...

The oil pressure is still low after I corrected the snap ring installation..
Everythink makes sense now. I had the snap ring installed in the wrong direction. The snap ring came loose after 4,000 miles following engine installation (2,500 AutoRx treatment, 1,500 mile rinse cycle). Low oil pressure ensued because there is a leak. Lack of lubrication caused the balance shafts to seize. It took out the balance shaft chain. The chain broke, scoured the oil suction entrance at the bottom of the timing cover so severely it created a hole. So the oil pump is sucking air even after I corrected the snap ring installation.
See picture.
