It may make it easier with PJ, and have done it both ways. Just takes longer without PJ (with a drill of course ), and if everthing is correct, it will prime. I understand the manual says to fill the pump with petroleum jelly but I never felt comfortable shoving petroleum jelly through the oil galleries on a fresh motor.Btw did you pack the oil pump with petroleum jelly before you put the front cover on. The oil pump will not prime without it. The only way to prime it is to pull the cam sensor and use a drill with a priming tool. But you need to pack the oil pump first.
