All the rockers have oil. But, the drill just kind of spins free with not much load. I only gave about 10mins before stopping. I am going to go spin it some more later.

one of those hate to admit things.. always make sure you check the oil pump bolt torque. I had started messing with the windage tray and did not go back to the pump to finish. got 60+ psi now.

I know this sounds stupid but you are turning it the right way right? It's suppose to turn clockwise. othere then that the only thing I can think of is a bad pump or there is a big leak inbetwwen the oil pump and the block.
