I don't understand these hoops some of you guys have jumped through to prime the oil pump.
All I've done is coat the oil pump gears with assembly lube, pour *some* oil into it, spin crank with timing belt disconnected (and cams in a position that no valves will hit piston)

I havent tried it myself, but my uncle used a half bottle of automatic transmission fluid along with the standard oil in his rebuilt 67' challenger's engine to break up chunks of lube while priming his V8 along with a shop vac to a used oil filter with a hole punched in the top.

How long should the shopvac have to be on to pull oil out the turbo feed line? I had it running for about 3 minutes tonight and nothing, I was spinning the motor by hand during this time. I am going to try with the oil filter tomorrow.

That was my shopvac hooked up to the oil feed line. I ran the shopvac for about 3 minutes and spun the engine by hand with a giant breaker bar on the front bolt. I also spun the motor with the starter briefly and nothing. Today I will try pulling from the oil filter. Then I will try pumping oil in through the oil fill port on the oil pump.
