This is what I used to prime the pump

Ok, so that explains a bit more...... not spinning the crankshaft so maybe why oil not going to rockers. Put a 14 inch rod in the pump (removed the cam gear and distributor) and attached a drill, spinning backwards. After a few seconds, the resistance became noticeable and oil was going in the...

Not turning the crankshaft, put a pan under the oil filter, loosened it up a bit, spun the pump with the drill and oil came out from the oil filter. So now with the new pump(which had resistance to the drill, the old one did not) was pumping oil. The mistake I did was not clean the oil pump...
