Actually pump, rotor and cover are new, everything stuffed with plenty of fresh oil but no grease. Any suggestion? Don't feel like dismount everything again. I will crank the engine till the oil pressure light goes off, is it enough?

Was the main bearing thrust surface 360 deg? Drop in or did the cap require modification?Comment

I planned to put 360° trust bearing but the one I bought were as the old ones. I will do it when I will rebuild it to make it turbo1986 pre-restyling 316 2drs

Yes, remove the fuel pump relay and all 4 spark plugs. It will give the engine a better chance of priming the pump. If you filled the cavity with oil, then I think you have a good chance of being OK to get it to prime. You can also try pouring some oil into the filter housing so that it can drain back into the pump a little, before trying to start it.
I would not worry too much, this issue is a little rare. It has never happened to me or anyone I know, but a couple of people here had a lot of trouble.Comment

Thank you very much! Those are the hints I was hoping for.
Really appreciate you help.
