I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you may have damaged the crankshaft. If you did not gauge the crank journal where the rod was, the journal may be worn enough for the bearing to be loose and letting oil pressure escape there.
Or there could be metal particles in the engine and now in the oil pump screen which would block oil from entering the pump.

make sure the old gasket from the old filter came off the block sometimes they come off old filter and stick this causes a leak due to improper seal.

SOURCE: I need instructions on how to replace rear wheel bearings on my 1994 Honda Civic

Bearings are pressed into the hubs...much easier, faster and economical (if you don't have a press) to replace the complete bearing/hub assembly, no pressing is needed, since bearings are already pressed into the new hubs. Cost..aprox, 60 buxs each.
Here are the steps for the rear replacement...
Loosen the lug nuts on a rear wheel. 2) Chock the wheels and jack the rear of the car on the side with the lug nuts that you just loosened. 3) Remove the wheel by removing the lug nuts. 4) Pry open the dust cap covering the center of the axle/spindle. A small screwdriver tapped into the space between the hub and dust cap will work well for this. 5) With the dust cap now removed, use a thin center punch to straighten the little dent in the rim of the spindle nut so that you will be able to turn it freely in the next step. 6) Use a 32mm socket and a large breaker-bar to loosen the spindle nut. Unscrew the nut all the way and place it in a clean, safe area. 7) You should now be able to slide the hub/bearing assembly from the shaft. 8) Installation is the reverse of removal. Use plenty of high-temperature wheel bearing grease on all surfaces before you mount the replacement hub assembly.

IMPORTANT: Torque the spindle nut to 134 ft/lbs....(per manual specs)

When reinstalling the dust caps, tap them gently into place to avoid denting them...Install wheels, jack her down and pat yourself on the back...job complete.
Good luck..hope this will fixya up...please take time to leave me a fixya rateing...

SOURCE: oil filter in civic 97

If you go to a reputable motor factor,
you can only be sold the correct filter for the civic.
As there are soo many variables in engine type, it's almost impossible to tell, oil volume, or which type filter.
However, I will say, be sure that you don't mix semi-synthetic oil, and mineral oil.
Oil changes should be undertaken every 30,000 miles, (unless under extra work load, (in which case, slightly more regularly))

Otherwise, 10/40 or 15/40 grade oil, is perfectly fine.
The trick to not overfilling the oil, is simply just to take your time, clean the dip stick and retry, until you have the correct reading.

Please don't forget to rate:)

SOURCE: My honda civic 1998 model fuel pump failed and I changed it

The PGM Main relay is outboard of the glove box. You can see it if you get the glove box out of the way, but to remove it, you need to pop the triangular shaped plastic trim off of the end of the passenger side of your dash. The relay is held in place with one 10mm bolt and the electrical connector.

I replaced the oil pump and rod and main bearings and i still have somewhat low oil pressure

How do you know that you have Low Oil Pressure?

Are you trusting the Gauge or putting an In-Line Gauge?

YOUR GM GAUGE CLUSTER is known to have BAD or DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTORS...

If you put the In-line Gauge on and see that you have Good Pressure, then what you need to do is rebuild your Instrument Cluster.

MAKE SURE YOU USE X27.168 Stepper Motors... The Cheaper CHINEESE STEPPER MOTORS are black and are defective.

The X27.168 Stepper Motors are WHITE and will last for as long as you own the Truck.

Order 6 Stepper Motors and do them ALL at the same time or you can pay someone $95-$200 to rebuild it for you...

Ive rebuilt the oil pump on my 98 bonneville and the oil pressure is still low and causes my motor to knock

The problem isn't with the oil pump. The oil pumps job is to move oil around the engine. What the problem is, the main and rod bearings are so worn out that it can't create oil pressure anymore. That's why you have a knock in the bottom end of the engine. The tighter the clearances are at the main/rod bearings, the better the oil pressure you'll have. The cam bearings also play a roll in producing oil pressure.

2004 yukon 6.o new oil pump still low oil pressure

main and rod bearings; when they wear out enough they reduce oil pressure. replacement of a dipstick tube o-ring is also an indication of a tired motor, especially if it was leaking significantly.

There is oil in the pan, but the low oil light is on and the valves are rattling. i think i need a new oil pump, but where is it located on the engine?

It is located IN the engine. To replace you need to remove the engine. Do it ASAP. Oil starvation will result in bearing replacement and on that engine it is costly if you can find bearings at all. Post if you need help. It is possible that the bearings have been damaged already hence the low oil pressure since bearings tend to wear out before the oil pump fails.

Put in new rod and main bearings oil drops to zero after warmup 1997 2.2 honda accord put in manual gage to check for sure also put in new headgasket and rings good oil pressure to start then gone what am...

Well the cam bearings will have to do with this also,if it has them,if not it can be the wear in the cam carriers.But most likely the crankshaft journals are worn to much,the crank would need turning,and over size rod,and main bearings would need to be installed.

The car is not getting oil through the motor

You will have to pull the oil pan. Remove the oil pump and either replace it or clean the pickup screen and tube. Some gunk has probably clogged it up. Don't use that Engine Flush stuff or you will make it even worse (bearing destruction).
