Remember that "priming" is DONE as soon as you have oil pressure. It's not a career.
Turning the motor over before I put the valley pan I could see oil moving to rocker arms. After assembly I don't/can't see oil at the lifters. I want to operate the oil pump to make SURE that everything is correct.
