Such is why a priming tool for many engines is more than just a shaft. Many make a priming tool out of an old distributor....take off the drive gear, strip the weights off the top and make the top of the shaft semi round so the drill chuck will clamp on it. Rotate the engine slowly while priming to open all passages to the oil flow.
