Hey all, I primed my new build today with a old distributor shaft. Good gauge pressure, resistance on the drill. Oil will only seap out of the rockers tho. (Not alot) I rotated the engine by hand several times as I still have it on the stand, priming after each turn, had same results.

I am assuming without the engine running there will not be much at the top end, as the lifters need to be moving to allow all the oil galleys and lifter bodies to achieve full pressure..

Am I correct? Or do I have an oil problem? Thanks...
