If you. Haven't got one,I recommend one of the hi-torque mini starters,
They turn the engine over so much faster,and about a third of the weight

Where are you taking your oil pressure from ?
The two Allen key screws are NOT where you take the oil pressure from !
You need a take off on the feed of the remote filter pipe,or your filter head
