priming the oil pump

Ok, I have posted this many times now and it almost always gets run over and ignored, but here it is again. This is the camshaft oil timing for each bank of the engine. Get it in one of these positions and prime hell out of the oil pump. sometimes it takes several minutes to get all the air out. Line it up on one of these positions and prime away. If it gets oil, line the other side up and do the same. When I say several minutes, I mean it. I've had one side take almost 15 solid minutes of priming before I got oil. I figure it had a PILE of air in the system, because after that, it was fine.

“On a small block:
Turn the motor to 90* before top dead center coming up on #1 compression. The pass. side rockers should get oil.
Turn the motor to 20* after top dead center just past #6 compression. The drivers side rockers should get oil.”
