I went through the same thing very recently and found that there is a small freezeplug that goes in the front of the engine, underneath the timing chain cover, that I had to install manually. Motor won't build oil pressure without it. Or the babrbell plug in the rear. Good luck.

Even if all the galley plugs are in place it can take longer than that to prime if your oil pump has lost/never had prime.
