Ok, Went from a comp cam hydrailic flat tappet to a Hughes engines Hydro Roller and he wanted a OE look so i swapped from the roller rockers to crane rockers to clear stock Valve Covers. Its a 440 source stroker, stealth headed engine. I Also had to change to a -.050 lock and space the springs to get to the correct spring rate per instructions. Also running Hughes bananna grooved shafts and the holes are down and pointing to the exhaust side. I think thats correct, but theres no instructions with the shafts. So Heres the problem,

I prelubed the engine and didnt see any signs of oil up top, nothing,

Im pretty frustrated so I just shut the lights off and went home. Tomorrow with a clear head im gonna pull the rocker bolts that feed the top end and roll it over to see if the oil flows out into the shafts.

Did I install the shafts wrong? Are the bolts blocking the oil to the shafts? I did have to shim the shafts up to get geometry corrected.

If theres something I missed Id appreciate any info...

Kinda makes me feel pretty dumb cause Ive done this same kind of swap dozzens of times.


Thanks

Kasey
