Re: Engine priming issue
If you spin the pump enough, you are going to flush all the break-in lube off the cam/lifter wearing surfaces. If it has a roller cam, that's a moot point, though. If you really want oil on all cam surfaces, you need to do the oil pump spinning on half-crankshaft turn intervals, since the lifters are at varying levels in their bores. Once I build an engine, I run the priming tool until I see oil anywhere in the valve train, then fire it up. You are over-doing it, I think.
