Well, it looks like I do have the B type washer installed (those disassembly pics are where it is at). I doubled checked my crank bolt torque all the same and my torque wrench says it's 150ftlbs. I gave it a degree or two more, just to be sure (150ftlbs is at the limit of my torque wrench's reading, so accuracy may be poor).

On a whim I decided to double check the OPRV. Good thing I did, because it looks like the green o-ring on the end escaped reassembly. Now I have to figure out where I put it. I knew the dang thing would just cause me trouble if I took it off.

I took the opportunity to crank the engine over and determine if any oil spurts from the hole. No oil- so I think I can say the pump is not primed, because it is surely appropriately attached and torqued. I'll try rudidelange's method of priming, it sounds very thorough.

Also, before I get too caught up, any thoughts on whether my missing o-ring could cause no oil pressure. From my understanding of the OPRV, it seems like that might cause an over pressure.
