Pre-oiling, new rebuild SBC 355
New Lunati hydraulic roller cam & retro roller lifters. New pushrods & roller rockers.
Low RPM Milwaukee 1/2" HD drill & tool in distributer hole turning oil pump, getting 35PSI
Turned over motor by crank dampener bolt, about 20 times, while running drill (buddy helped).
2 pushrods not showing any oil through the rocker holes (1 on each head). the rest show plenty.
I removed the 2 pushrods & they were about 1/2 full of oil.
Does this show a problem or will starting the motor up make them oil properly?
