Changed out my rocker oil lines yesterday along with oil feed line, and a oil change. Got everything back together today, started it up and have no oil return to the oil tank. Luckly I caught it immediately. What did I do wrong. Oil return was great before the replacements. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How long did you give it as it would take a while for the scavenge to fill the return line and spin-on filter after a filter change especially if the sump was completely empty?

Maybe 30 seconds at most, scared me that there was no return and I shut it off.
 
Were you looking at the two oil return holes (arrowed) as the stub below the filler is the breather?

I've seen it take a good 1-2.5 min before oil appears out the return line. Longer if filter wasn't pre-filled. Having the oil pressure guage showing good pressure immediately upon fire up, despite no oil return, saves all the sweaty palms, gnashing of teeth, wringing of hands panic!
 
Everything was ok. I was just expecting a faster return to the oil tank. Took a little longer to fill filter and everything after oil change.
