Peter,
I did the same thing as with bearings, pistons etc. I used engine
assemble lube during assembly. The red stuff.
This includes the gear and shaft as well.
I have heard of some owners, using a drill to prime the pump before
installing the drive shaft but I did not have to do that step.
After full engine assembly, I just cranked it without spark plugs until
I saw some pressure indicated on the gauge. Once fired up and running,
pressure was what you would expect from a fresh rebuilt engine. Plenty
of oil in the rocker shaft.
