Most aftermarket have shafts drilled top and bottom , original stock only have one side drilled, it is to be installed down for rocker lubrication.

We got it all sorted out. It was a gauge issue. It is running decent pressure now, after the rocker shafts had the oil pouring out. Running proper pressure again.

Thank you all for the Help.

I did not feel the "wrist twisting" as described but it did read decent pressure with the drill and then I started and its running good pressure


I am going too mock up a second mechanical gauge in the engine bay instead of just the electric gauge in the interior. You cannot be inside the car and in the engine bay at the same time, so I was reliant on my son to read the gauges for me while I was priming

An easy way to do that is to place unplugged drill and shaft in the pump, use wire to turn drill switch on and then go to where you can see gauge and then plug your drill in. You can basically be in both places at once. It works!!

Auto shut off when the drill winds up and pulls the cord out of then wall.
