Priming the Engine
I have an oil pump primer that attaches to a drill and was wondering, how fast do I spin the drill??

As fast as you can. Don't use a battery powered one though, it will run out of juice fast. It takes a lot of power to spin the oil pump. I used my neighbor's 14 volt cordless drills and they both gave up after about 20 seconds of trying to turn the oil pump.
Run it until you see the oil come out of the tops of the rocker arms.
