Thanks for all the responses. Bill nailed it with the issue I was having. I was rotating the engine too much as I primed it. The camshaft holes just weren't lining up the cam bearing feed holes to the heads. When I slowed down and only rotated the engine a couple of inches and primed it each time the holes eventually lined up and got oil to the rocker studs. Definitely a different procedure compared to the through the rocker arm oiling.
