Are you sure you were fully engaged with the oil pump shaft? You will be able to tell because the drill will severely bog down. I was using a 12 V Black and Decker drill, and after about 3 to 5 minutes the motor (of the drill) smelled like it was burning up, so if you were doing it for 30 minutes, and didn't notice anything, then maybe you were just spinning the shaft, and it wasn't engaged. The easiest way to make sure things are working is to hook up an oil pressure gauge, and you should get up to 60-70 psi of pressure while priming.
When I primed mine, I could see oil in the valve covers (I used old covers with sight holes cut into them) slowly dripping off the baffles. |
