I had originally primed the engine with the drill in forward FYI
I changed the oil and filter
I took off the oil pump to check if the pressure release was stuck, but it slid back and forth easily
I think your main problem is that big round thing hanging off the front of your engine. Send it to me , I'll pay the postage. LOL Other than that, you had oil at both rockers, did you re-fill the new filter with oil? you do have oil in the crank case right? I would look at the oil pump gasket sucking air. Try priming again .
