Just a comment here......

Most valve lifters have an internal oil metering valve that relies on the 
up-down reciprocating action to allow oil to flow to the pushrod tubes. That 
means you may not ever get any oil out of the pushrod tips while operating the oil 
pump with your electric drill. 

Just continue to operate the drill for about 30 seconds after full pressure 
is acheved. It might also help to rotate the crankshaft a full turn while 
operating the pump to get oil into the drilled oil passages.
