Pull the end plate off the pump body, and pack the pump gears with Vaseline.
Replace the end plate, and start it up.
It will pump almost immediately.

I pulled the motor and while I had the pan off, I decided to put on a different oil pan and pick-up. I put the motor back in and forgot that I wanted to take off the oil pump to push the drive gear out, so I could hand prime the pump upon reinstallation. Now the motor is ready to fire, oil is in and I cannot prime the motor. I cranked the motor a little with the starter hoping for a quick prime, no luck. What are my options. How can I get the pump primed with the least hassle. Cam I put oil in through the Oil filter connection, keep cranking, can I pull the gear through distributor hole????
