Put the drill to it this afternoon and ran it pretty slow, I had pressure within 2-3 seconds running it slow. I went ahead and traded out the filter to a Baldwin, primed it again and will let it sit another day and try again.

What is the trick to getting the intermediate shaft in place? Seems like everytime to go install it, I spend 20 minutes slowing turning the oil pump shaft then dropping in the intermediate shaft only to find I am one tooth off one way or the other. It is like the intermediate shaft doesn’t engage the pump until the shaft is already engaged with the cam thus if the hex isn’t lined up it will not fall the rest of the way in.
