<VV> Oil pump question

[Charles Cromwell]

It does take an effort to turn the pump. Try a screw driver blade in a drill.

 Hi,

 

On a freshly built engine, one with a new high volume oil pump installed,
how much pressure does it take to turn the oil pump using a large
screwdriver in the distributor shaft?

I can turn it but it's taking more effort than I would have thought. 

 

Any opinions?

 

Thanks,

Bob
