 I will certainly do that a next time. I don't want to wear out the allen bolt on the aux pulley in the near future.

For now my cordless tool was really handy and got the job done. My oil pump is primed and I feel confident that it builds good oil pressure given the limited rpm.

My guess is that I ran the pulley around 150 to 200 rpm. If I would run it all full speed (250 rpm) with a hex bolt, I don't think it would give a much higher oil pressure reading. For that I would need a tool that would allow 3000 rpm or more as you said.

I will run final checks (as I have done quite a few updates this year on the car) and try and start her up....cross fingers.
