I had a GM crate motor that took about 30 minutes to oil the rockers,
even turning the crank a 1/4 turn every few minutes. The tool I was
using is one I've used for years and works great, some just take longer
then others. By all means hook up a pressure guage so you can see what
is happening.

Sounds like a bad oil pump, to me.
If you got that prime rod, hooked it to a drill, ran it a few minutes and
don't see oil moving around, something's really wrong.

Hi Guys, I'm still fighting the pre-oiler wars with my new
crate 350.
Several Chevelle List members helped me determine that a
screwdriver
shaft can't work since it needs a bushing to oil the upper
galleries
and valvetrain. So I bought a Proform
"66896 Professional Oil Pump Primer with Bushing" at my local Speed
Shop.
Today I cranked it for a couple of minutes but still don't
see any oil
coming from the pushrod/rocker area.
Am I missing something? It seems like it shouldn't be this
difficult.
No, there is not a big pool of oil under the car.
Thanks,
