i just fired up a new motor and it has low hot idle oil pressure
it is a nos 440 short block cast crank cast pistons 516 heads with 214 181 valves
melling hv pump,crower hyd lifters,hughes wiplash cam,hd mopar stamped rockers, oil thru pushrods
10w30 casterol with a pint of lucas breakin lube
first fire 80 lbs cold 30 lbs hot,ran it for 20 mins at 2200 let it cool down and went for a ride
ran it thru the gears all ok 60lbs then on the way back stoped at a light and 8lbs at idle
20 mph 25 lbs rev it up 60lbs let it idle 5 lbs
what up!
i have not done a stock build in a long time because bigstrokers are my gig so i don't know if i am missing somthing, any clues? wix 51515 filter
8 qt pan

Are the oil holes in those stock rockers pointed up towards the rocker covers or down towards the rocker shafts?

don't know for sure but i do know i have the rocker shaft hole down toward the valves
are you talking about the holes on the back side of the push rod cups?

No, the holes for the rockers, I don't remember which way the slot on the stock shafts go I think the slot goes to the rear on the passenger side and to the front on the driver side. I can look up the proper stock slot orientaion in a FSM a little later if you like

They most all have low oil pressure when you oil through the pushrod. Why would you go that route on a stock rebuild if you don't mind me asking?

Regarding the rocker shaft orientation, think Road Runner [ R R for right rear ]. The notch on the shaft goes to the rear on the right or passenger side and to the front on the drivers [ left ] side. About the pushrods. I can't see any reason for using oil through pushrods with stock stamped rockers. They certainly must account for some pressure loss.

I didn't catch the hollow oil through pushrods I would say that is a big No No Especailly if you converted the cam or motor to oil the rockers full time
