We have oil!
Thanks Walt, Jerry, Mike and everyone else who said to keep on
spinning and to turn the crank too. After two full crankshaft
revolutions at 1/6 revolution per "adjustment" and 20 seconds of
spinning the pump at each position, oil finally came out of the
pushrod/rocker interface. Let's hope the next guy who tries it learns
from this.
Thanks guys!

Sometimes it takes quite a while (few minutes). I usually spin it
in
cycles for a few minutes. Then I turn the crank by hand a little
1/4
turn maybe. I'll keep this going until I get oil out of all
pushrods.
