Im finishing up a 4.6 swap in my fox. Today I spun the car over with just the starter to get some oil flowing through the block. I installed an oil filter relocation with the swap.
When I spun the car over I couldnt see any oil flow through the valve cover so after some checking I found the oil is going from the block to the oil filter but not out of the filter.
The housings are labeled. I have the lines going from out of the block to the in port on the filter housing and the out port of the filter housing goes to an oil cooler then to the in port on the block. I filler the oil cooler with oil when I put oil in the pan.

Sorry for the long post just trying to put as much info in as I can. Any ideas why this is happening?

When I had my modular motor every resource I found said to get a garden pump sprayer, put oil in it and spray it into the hole on the oil cooler. That forces oil into the motor.
