Re: more oil please
No doubt the ARP stuff is of super high quality, but there are cheaper primers, too, by the Proform and Summit brands.
I used a proper primer on mine and it did take quite a while to prime. I was surprised. At first I didn't realize that the shaft didn't drop down quite deep enough onto the oil pump connector. But then, even after I got full pump engagement, it took a while to see the oil at the rockers.
I think I may have also turned the crank to make sure galleries were lining up and I was getting enough oil to prime the rod bearings.
