Is there a port I can prime the oil pump on my 100 engine?  My friend that
built the short block recommended priming the oil pump with STP.  He just
did not get to tell me how to pack it before he passed.  I have also heard
that assembly lube is another alternative.  Any suggestions?

When I did the rod bearings in my MGB I packed the oil pump with Vaseline =
when I put everything back together and that worked great. When I rebuilt =
the engine in my BN1 I was told I did not have to do anything. So I just p=
ut it all back together, filled it with oil, left the plugs out and turned=
 it over until she showed oil pressure. Worked like a charm. Then I put th=
e plugs in, fired her up, good oil pressure and ran it for about 20 minute=
