Good thing I didn't do what you guys told me

Yeah but I mean cmon, it's no surprise really when you're disassembling the oil pump it's going to trap air. You have to do your own checks to ensure it's working properly.
As we've already said, you would be surprised on how little oil that engine actually needs.
My serious advice to you would be to stop messing around with the oil pump as you're just asking for trouble.
If you're really worried, then go premix. I found it literally no hardship to do.
