Priming the oil pump
#2
i have used the end of a good sized screw driver that i cut off. put it on my drill and pulled the oil pump drive and stuck the screw driver end in the oil pump drive shaft and used the drill driver tool to turn the pump and prime. gota make sure the drill is turning the right way. lol. did mine backwards first and it took a few times to figure out why it was not getting oil. lol.

Pull a valve cover or if you can see through the oil fill hole, check if oil is making it up to the rockers. But really, you don't need to "see" the oil, a handful of revolutions will get the oil pumping. Is this a newly built engine?
