Update. Had no time over the weekend, so went down to the shop this evening after work. My pressurized reservoir only holds about 2.5 quarts. I anticipated draining the oil and refilling it a couple of times. Probably refilled it at least 10 to 12 times before I was done.

Took almost another hour of running oil into the priming port (varied from 20 psi to 40 psi). I wasn't sure if increased pressure would help. But, I can guarantee 2.5 quarts runs through a lot FASTER at 40 psi.

Kept thinking I would get some oil on those two. Finally got oil on #1 intake after about 45 minutes. Had to run another 7.5 quarts through to get oil to the exhaust rocker.

At least that part of this job is done.
