Please help! I just finished putting head gasket in and ready to start the vehicle, but I can't get the damn oil pump to prime. I did pack the oil pump with Vaseline, I have the spark plugs out and I've been cranking away trying to give it about 30 seconds of cranking and a minute or two for starter to rest. I'm trying not to get impatient, I really want this thing to start, I need to get to work! Any thoughts/suggestions?

Edit: I just went for it and started the engine, light popped off after a couple seconds. All good!
