Thanks for all the replies!
I’ll try and answer the questions asked. Yes, I turned it counter clockwise. Yes, there was resistance after about 5-7 seconds. The only time resistance decreased is when I had my son turn the crank just past 1 full revolution (180 degrees out of time). Also heard oil moving when that happened so I stayed there for a bit of time to hopefully see oil come from the rocker studs. Then we turned a 1/4 turn until we got back to TDC.
I still never saw any oil at the rocker studs. I did this two more times. Still nothing.
I noticed that some priming tools have a piece that fits into the distributor bore. Mine does not, only fits on the oil pump shaft. I was wondering if that piece is required to cover the hole in the distributor bore to continue the oil path?
I also noticed that there is some oil coming from the freeze plug at the rear of the gallery in the head. I would think that would mean that oil is getting up to the rocker arm, but I’m still not seeing any oil come out of the cross-drilled hole.
Yes, 6 quarts of oil in stock oil pan. I did take the filter off to see if the pump was working and I less than 3 seconds of priming, oil was definitely pumping out. I refilled the the filter 3/4 and started priming again. But still nothing.
