Jaap..
You are doing a good job..great job..in fact..Before you start your engine,take off your rocker valve cover and pull out your distributor..
it should build oil pressure with the starter motor. You might want to pull the distributor and prelube the engine, using a drill motor and a screwdriver shank, to turn the oil pump.
Make sure you have good oil flow to the rocker arms..it will squirt out of the rocker arms with great force..or it should so cover the rocker arm with a clean cloth to catch the oil spray..or you'll Be sorry..!!
The missus will be pissed at you when she has to clean the oil off the ceiling..!!!
If you run the drill for more than a few seconds and don't get good pressure, something is wrong! and you don't' want to run the engine till you figure it out and fix it.
