      The coolant level looks fine. I'm sorry, I know very little about car engines. Can you expand a little on what you mean by check the gas flow?

      if the injectors are stuck open and pouring fuel you will might /will have gas in the oil past the rings (if there is not so much that you hydrolock)..

      what color is the coolant? you used a new head gasket? what steps did you install it in? no coatings or anything?

      does the oil look like a milkshake? or just runny? have you changed it since putting the head on?

      I'd start with checking to make sure the engine oil was filled to the proper level..you might be just a bit low, and that could cause the pressure light to come on when you're stopped at a light/sign.

      Sounds like the beginning symptoms of a blown head gasket...The cylinder head bolts in most cases have to be retorqued if the head was removed, generally within a week of installation to make sure the head is properly seated, and as the leakage progresses, the engine will begin to run rough and get worse.

      you should not be doing this with torque to yield bolts.
