That could be because it takes a long time for the Oil to get back there; but that is a guess.
It would be good practice to put oil in the pump after a rebuild just to get things going.

In my (limited) experience with IPs I've found a lot of gunk in them - perhaps removal of one of the side plates to see if it is full up with muck is worthwhile? The oil might not have been draining...

...the oil paths might be restricted.
