Did you pack the oil pump with grease before installing it?

Take the filter off, there is a small hole that feeds oil to the oil filter directly from the pump. Get a tom Thumb pump or similar, and pump oil into the oil pump from there. Plugs out, coil lead off, and crank it until you get oil pissing out. If it doesnt work, you havent pumped enough oil in. Try again

over fill the engine oil level. take of the oil filter. block the rocker cover breathers and pump compressed air down the dip stick tube. this forces oil from the sump, up the pickup then thro the pump and out the oil filter bung. if that doesnt get your system primed then yourve got a rooted pump or som other major issue
