How do you prime the oil pump?

This is a good thread. I rebuilt my 07 hemi and couldn't get it to suck up any oil either. Dropped about a quart of oil down the bottom 1/2"npt port (mine has a 1/8" npt for the pressure sensor and a 1/2"npt that's plugged) and hand cranked it backwards at the harmonic balancer. It pulled that oil right in! Rolled it over and BINGO! Oil pressure. THANKS, brothers and sisters :)

I need to update my profile pic!!!
