hey everyone, aren't stock buick pushrods supposed to be hollow to allow for oil to travel, or is there another way the oiling system works?

The '69 and earlier heads had the oil come from a small passageway in the block, up to the rocker shaft/rockers. The '70 and later engines had the traditional pushrod oiling.

You can easily convert the older engines to run a modern oil thru pushrod setup. Plug off the holes in the block/heads and use the '70 & newer stuff. Alot of BBB guys like to use the earlier heads....especially if the run in a class that doesn't allow porting.
