How do you prime the oil pump?
This is how I did mine, adapted a scuba tank to pump in the oil (any sort of tank would work, old fire extinguisher for example) air get's fed in at the fitting at the side, the top fitting has a pickup tube welded into it wich reaches all the way to the bottom of the tank (about 1" of the bottom). Air pushes down on the oil, only way it can go out is through the pick up tube and into the motor. Only drawback is that you have to fill it through the top fitting wich takes a long time, if I ever need this thing again I'll drill a 2" hole in it weld a piece of threaded pipe on it and use a cap.
You have to use the bottom hole on the oil filter boss to prime the pump, if you use the top hole you prime the entire motor except the oil pump (found this out first hand).
Hose is connected to the wrong hole on the oil filter boss, only found out later that this hole does not feed the oil pump.
Tried filming it in action but looks like Michael J Fox filmed it. If you have oil pressure on, and rotate the cam, every time the rocker pushes down an intake valve a squirt of oil comes out.
