When I rebuilt my engine last summer I primed the oil pump using a cordless drill prior to installing the timing belt. Make sure and start off gently with the drill(just in case). I do this to all the engines I install. If I remember it did take a little while to prim the oil pump(and the rest of the system). As long as you used assemly lube when you assembled the engine just keep cranking in 15-20 second intervals until you get oil pressure.

You didnt grease the oilpump/siphon tube when you assembled it? Its almost a nessecity.
At least fill it with cam lube or something that will stay in there!
