Hi,

I am getting ready to fire up a new rebuild & I'm priming the oil pump 
with a drill. The most I can muster at about 800rpm is about 19 lbs of 
pressure @ the gauge. Oil has only dribbled out of the first & second 
rocker arm pedestal but not out of the rocker arms.
I am turning the pump in a counter clockwise direction.
This does not seem to be enough pressure but then the pump should turn 
about half the speed of the crank.
Any suggestions.
