priming oil pump

i am as of now trying to prime the oil pump with a oil pump priming tool with a drill , the oil filter was off until i noticed it starting to pour oil which it did, then i placed a oil filter back on the motor with oil in filter... but then i tried to get oil else where by priming it and i don't seem to see any especially around timing chain and or the top of the heads. i am using a 3/8 drill.. can someone tell me what am i doing wrong or what i should do..this is on a rebuilt motor ..i also oiled all cylinders with marvel mystery oil..to try and lube the cylinders..

You need to rotate the crank by hand to get the oil passeges to line up??

AND.......make sure you are rotating the pump correctly

BB/ RB engines go "to the left" CCW

SB engines go "to the right" CW

yes..you need to rotate the engine by hand while turning the oil pump...

are you saying rotate the crank with drill and the oil pump with drill at same time , bit confused

rotate the crank by hand wrench or rachet on balancer bolt and oil pump with the drill

Is this a big block? if so.....................#8 exhaust valve full lift puts oil to pas side head............#7 ex valve full lift puts oil to drivers side head............just makes life a bit easier when you have a drill in one hand & trying to rotate the engine with the other.
