How to prime oil pump

I used a long piece of hex (of course with the oil pump drive shaft removed) inserted into my drill and just turn it clockwise. I also turn the engine over in 1/4 turn increments and do it again each time. This may be overkill, but what the hell. I want to get oil down to every port and galley in the crank etc. I also wrap the long piece of hex with electrical tape (in the right spot) as to protect that bronze inserted bushing for the oil pump drive shaft from getting a little chewed up by the edges of the spinning hex shaft. Sorry, a little long-winded.
