Starting engine for the first time...oil pressure

TimDart said
Can you get oil as far as the lifters?. As soon as I saw oil to this level i found that my oil pressure gauge registered 70-80lbs pressure, all with a drill and priming gear. Started up good and oiled the rockers fine.
Are you turning the engine whilst you use the priming tool?

I started this whole ordeal by turning the engine over with the starter to try and get oil up to the valves. When I was using the priming tool I was not turning the engine over at the same time.

Just to verify the pump priming rod should be turning CLOCKWISE?
