Update.... No matter how fast I spun the pump by hand, I could not get oil to come up to the pad where the rocker pedestals sit. I was getting plenty to the filter and sender so I buttoned it back up and started the engine. After about 45-60 seconds of idle time, oil started seeping from the #4 rocker weep hole and gradually moved to the front of the motor. I am now getting, what I feel is plenty of oil to the rocker shafts. This little lift-truck is running as good as new now and couldn't be happier. Thank you all for your help.

I just wanted to update this in case somebody uses the search function in the future.

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
