As long as you have a roller cam, it isn't as sensitive. Excessive turning of the engine with a new flat tappet setup is hard on the lobes/lifters. I prefer the oil prime within a few hours of starting a new engine, but I don't think it is a hard and fast rule.

When you do prime it, turn the engine over a few revolutions while turning the oil pump with the drill motor.



also prime it twice. once while assembling after you get the rockers on and with the covers off and make sure you are getting oil to every rocker. and prime when its in the car or dyno with the distr/wires being that last item to install.
