Actually that's a good question, but the answer is yes. 13 of the 16 pushrod's are the same ones I was using before the all these problems. They all have oiling holes through them. Just a parts reference:

Howards Cams pt#91718 EDM lifters.
Comp Cams pt#7963 oiling push rods.

Rapidrobert, I thought about the gallery and lifter location / side band location, so I tried to move the lifter with my fingers up and down while I was priming it to get oil to shoot out of the top of the lifter. I could feel the lifter pressurizing and I could see it coming out of the EDM hole, but not out of the top of the lifter.

I used a 3/8 drill forever trying to prime it, no go. I switched over to a 1/2 drill and ran it till it literally burned the engine up on it, no go. I tried to run the engine for a few minutes to see if it would prime, no go.

Im going to call hughes on Monday, but im beginning to wonder if those lifters dont work in a Magnum block.
