alan, did you rebuild your oil pump, or put a new one. on the bearings. you probably ought to go ahead and replace them if you show any scouring at all. plasti-guage every bearing . i don't know where you are losing the pressure, but you gotta find the cause before you try again. reassemble everything with a 50/50 mix of oil and stp will help protect it while you are getting everything timed up, etc. my jubilee i overhauled also had the oil coming out by the distributor opening when i was priming it with a screwdriver bit and a cordless drill.. but i got oil pumped up all over the rocker shaft and tappets also. i don't know all the oil passages on this engine, can't offer any other idea for things to check. luck
