I sure wouldn't chance it, Paul. It may be that the pump arm is wedged
against the camshaft (due to either improper installation or wrong pump),
and turning the engine with the starter may break either the pump or the
camshaft.
Of course it might just be something wrong with the pump, but why take the
risk ? Pull the pump off and find out what's going on with it.
