Matt,
bbc
new build,
have 65lbs oil  pressure at all the side all ports,
have oil coming out of the first rockers on both sides rear ones back of the motor
primed the motor about 20mins even turn the motor over
CAN NOT GET OIL OUT OF THE REST OF THE ROCKERS
THOUGHTS,
last cam bearing wrong
is it just filling the lifters up (solid lifters)
wrong lifters
just prime it longer

OR
HOLD IT TO THE FLOOR TILL PARTS STARTS TO FLY 8)
STEVE M
AS ALWAYS THANKS FOR YOU TIME IN ADVANCE!!

 Hello Steve:
65 Lbs is enough to get oil upstairs.
What kind of priming tool are you using?
Does the tool fit good in the bore that is in the block?
Oil goes around that to the other lifters.
What kind of lifters?
Don't hold it to the floor just yet!!

Matt

sorry Matt just got home to 40* it was 78* in fl.
it's a old gm hei, the priming tool.
will check the fit
the lifters and cam are lunati
the first rocker on both side have great oil flow  (very back)
it like there is no oil getting around that first lifter
is this right,
the oil flow up the back of the motor,
around the back cam bearing grove
up to the right and left side oil galley
to the lifters, fills the lifters then upstairs
at the same time the oil goes around the first lifter to the next one etc.etc.?
will try priming longer
THOUGHTS
OK, will hold off  the floor little longer
as always
thanks for your time because time is all we really have!
