I ran the oil pump with a drill until the oil was coming out of the rear camshaft drain hole by the distributor.
That is a great plan and the way I'll do it in the spring.... its cold around here now and the shop isn't heated.
What happened to you 20 years ago is what I suspect happened to me too.
I should have ran the drill much longer because since this problem arose I learned that the first rod journal is the LAST bearing to get lubed form the oil pump.
When I did the prelube I thought that when it was coming out of the cam bearings and pumping out of the rocker shafts was enough.
Thanks,
Dan
