Oil Pressure Relief Valve

Could this be the reason for my low oil pressure? I want some reassurance before I pound it further into my timing cover and bolt everything back up. This is a freshly rebuilt motor that is only making 0-5 psi at idle with 20w50 oil.

I believe that gap should be there, and on my buddys car his relief valve stuc shut and the pressure built up so much that it was pissin oil out the timing chain cover, so if the relief vavle is sticking you will get higher pressure I believe.
