Is it a recon engine or a 2nd hand engine ? Did it come with warranty ?

I'd get it back to the garage that fitted it ASAP if its warrantied before any more damage gets done.

try the oil pressure switch on the oil filter housing it might be faulty or your oil pick up pipe is blocked.

They have replaced the engine so I think the fault is elsewhere maybe a loom problem.
