During final assembly we used our oil pump primer rod connected to a power drill. As it spins the oil pump you make sure that the oil is flowing out of the valve train and check the pressure with an oil pressure gauge.When replacing the distributor, it's helpful to be able to turn the oil pump shaft a bit at a time to assist in lining up the distributor gear. This tool can be spun by hand to help line up the distributor gear with the oil pump shaft during installation.
