I watched a friend in an RV-6 with the same problem on initial start-up. The problem is that on the 1st run it is quite difficult to force the air out of the steel line that carries the oil from the guv. to the prop hub. This fellow simply cracked one of the nuts on the line (I think at the prop end), some air escaped and then everything worked fine.
