preoil problem

Hi,
today finished my lg4 assemble. then tryed to preoil engine. I rotated oil shaft by drill during few minutes, but oil came out only on one rocker, there were not oil leakage on lifters, but while rotating it came huge oil stream from block rear wall to distributor shaft.

what can be my problem

ps I use high volume oil pump, trickflow roller lifters (not pumped yet).

You need a primer with a sleeve to get oil to the top end. Just using a rod won't do it.
