318 Motor Priming Issue

Thank you for all the replies.

First off, I didn't build this engine. I bought it from another FABO member, who said it was a strong runner, no issues, etc. So I have no idea if the bearings were lined up with the oil port holes.

Second, how do I tell if the shaft is installed either upside down or the wrong way around? What am I looking for?

I will try cranking it with the breaker bar instead of the ignition.

Thanks again
