You did put the relief valve in pointing the right way?

As stated previously,especially with cold oil the drill should kick back on you. If you aren't feeling that there there obviously is a problem. One thing you can do listen carefully because sometimes you will hear a gurgling or dripping sound where the oil pressure is being bled off. Are you running a roller cam in this motor? What type of lifter are you running??

If you would like to PM me I can carry you through this a little further. You also are more than welcome to call me at my shop (973)-267-4364.
