Just a little apprehensive

I am somewhat of a neophyte Ford engine builder and I just finished building an inline-6 for my old farm truck. After screwing it all together and while it was sitting on the stand I did the pre-oiling thing by spinning the oil pump with a drill.
I noticed that oil started dribbling out of the front half of the rockers only, none from the back half. Anyone know what's happening here. Am I OK or is something amiss here. It would be nice to know before I get everything all hooked up.....thanks a bunch.

By front half I meant the 1st 6 rockers.

I did that....several times. Maybe my cheap, old drill just did'nt have the power. It would bog down pretty quickly
