I primed the oil pump by packing the gears with vaseline and rotating CCW with oil from the upper oil cooler hose. The oil pan is filled to the proper level. I then used a drill CW to pump oil after hooking cooler hose back to radiator.
My pressure gauge will go anywhere from 0 to 70 lbs of pressure while turning the oil pump gear.
I have the valve cover off the driver side and no oil is being pumped in. When I crank the engine the pressure comes up to about 20 pounds but shouldn't I see a bunch of oil squirting in to the rocker area??
I haven't actually started the engine yet since purchased.
