I am having trouble priming my oil pump on my 87 WE4. The motor is new, new HV timing cover with new gears and new high pressure relief spring. I went thru my normal procedure. Which is running the pump backwards(CCW) with a quart of oil hooked to the top oil cooler line. Then put the line back on the radiator and run the pump forward(CW) until I get oil out of a push rod by the rockers. I can usually run the whole quart back into the motor, But this time I can't get any oil to go thru. The drill I am using to run the oil pump labors very hard when the pump is running backwards(CCW), doesn't labor at all when running forward(CW). I tried packing with vaseline and had no luck. I have the oil feed to the turbo unhooked at the oil pressure sender block and the only thing to come out of it was the vaseline I tried using. Any advice would be nice. And I have several questions.
1) Where does the top oil cooler line hookup to on the adaptor at the oil pump, towards the middle of the motor or towards the wheel well.
2) Could I have the gallery in the block from the pickup plugged or the pickup itself?
