If you run the drill in reverse, you should have oil to all your rockers in a minute or so.

Yes, reverse and keep going. You will notice the drill begin to try to twist as the oil pressure builds and very soon afterward the oil will flow. THe pump turns CCW

Are you sure the shaft is inserted in the oil pump?
