Default oil pump turning torque?

after getting my new heads on and valve train all setup, i thought it would be a good idea to run some (new changed fresh) oil through the valve train...I couldn't get an SAE deep socket (didn't have the right one) to fit the oil pump drive, so i found a metric one that fit close, not wanting to screw up the dive i just put a speed wrench on it and turned by hand.

VERY surprised how hard it was to spin the oil pump? I did get oil up through the lifters and through the rockers, but man lots of torque required?

Is this normal?
