Wow. What a flaming pile of bullshit this turned out to be. The only thing I really got done was my cam gear is on.
The short version of the story:
I was trying to prime my oil pump so I could finally set the timing, bolt on my valve cover, and so on. Turning the oil pump with a drill....and turning....and turning... for quite awhile. Then I took off the oil filter and filled it. More turning...nothing. So I screw the oil filter off again and right as the last thread comes off...
PPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
OIL ON YA FACE! Oil vapor went everywhere. There was probably 100psi of pressure inside that filter. Oil all over me, the engine, the stall...I mean everywhere. So yeah, $5 "oil pressure release valve" on order, be here Monday. Time to have a drink.
