oil light on - squealing after headgasket job

ok so i finally finished my headgasket job on the 93 900s. thanks to everyone who helped me get everything in place.... (was my first HG!)
but now i wonder what is the deal. i got the engine up to operating temp. and the fan came on. white smoke pours out once the engine heats up. have ran it to operating temp about 3 or 4 times. the lifters are still noisy. i took it for the first test drive around my street keeping it below 2000 rpm. the oil light is still on. cant see any oil leaking from crankshaft pulley area, i figure the crank seal and oil pump cover/gears i put on are OK. (had to replace a broken timing cover)
wondering - is it normal for the oil light to be on this long? i have heard the lifters will be noisy for quite a while after the job and white smoke can last a while too. anyone have any suggestions as to what i might check?
