07 R56 Mini Cooper S part-8: First start reveals a low oil and fuel pressure issue

After completing the engine rebuild on my 07 R56 Mini Cooper S project, the first start revealed issues with both oil pressure and fuel pressure. The red oil light indicator came on after 10 minutes of running the engine. Therefore I decided to perform an oil pressure test. Oil pressure test is not conclusive yet as my Harbor Freight oil pressure test kit came with a brass fitting that had poor threads and partially stripped the threads on the cylinder head. So the fitting had a poor seal and oil did leak out which caused the oil pressure reading to appear very low (10 psi idle). Will re-tap the hole on the cylinder head and exchange the oil test kit at harbor freight for another one that has a perfect brass fitting and will test the oil pressure again to get more accurate reading. Also note that the engine idles kind of rough. It actually improved as I ran the engine more, but due to oil pressure issue I do not want to run engine very long. My OBD2 scanner revealed fuel rail pressure (FRP) at 1600kpa (232psi). I read high pressure fuel pump should be around 700psi and issues with poor idle, difficulty starting (which I don&really have), and P0190 code for fuel pressure sensor levels all point to faulty high pressure fuel pump?? So I will order new one to see if it will make a difference. Also you can hear loud ticking or clicking noise from vacuum pump area. I saw on a a FCP Euro video clip that vacuum pumps tend to make some form of noise, but if it completely fails it...
