just a few quick questions. i need to prime my engine before i drop it in and finish the timing.

the engine is turning clockwise, correct? so spin the pump gear clockwise to prime it? does it take long to do? i plan to leave my turbo line off and just wait for it to start spewing out
 
Make sure you use a type of lube to help prime the oil pump.Take the cover of the back plate and put in the lube and use a drill to prime it. make sure you use enough so that when your done there will be enough when you put the motor into to run it.
