Any way I guess after reading this I will go back and let it go for another 5-10 minutes to see what happens. I thought maybe the drill wasn't powerfull enough...

It's not. The good news is your bearings are being oiled. The bad news is... there is no bad news. You want to oil down the valve train, pour some new oil over the rockers and springs before start up.

yeah that drill in NOWHERE near powerful enough. you gotta spin it fast enough to keep up the pressure to get it to get through the whole motor. the faster the better. get a diff. drill.

I just tried an electric drill and I got a small amount of oil to seep on to all 16 springs from the rockers after about 10 minutes. It didn't poor out but atleast I can see oil circulation. I should be good now huh?
