Priming oil pump

[yoshi_tony]

if its a new oil pump it should be lubed already ....oem and top line i know for sure that their pre-lubed all you need its to prime them

I always pack the pump with a lithium assembly lube.

New gears need to be lubed and packed with grease. There's no need for priming the oil pump after it has been installed. That's why you use assembly lube on all bearing surfaces during assembly. We get immediate oil pressure during startup. I have put together several engines doing just this with no issues. Just my opinion....

What about unplugging the cas and cranking it over untill you can see oil in the head?

I have done this also on a few builds and have never had any issues.
