No I wasn't turning the crank cuz I didn't think it was needed & I didn't wanna wipe the lobes. EDIT I could turn it if that is what I am missing then regoop the lobes. MORE EDIT Doc what special tool do you have? & Doc I am gonna put that motorhome 440 in the truck with the granny 4 sp/hyd clutch.

Try loosening the rocker shafts and try to pre-oil again.You should see oil coming out of the push rods if all is well

Since RR doesn;t say...
If it's an LA engine, you need to rotate it as you prelube.
IF is't a magnum engine rotating does nothing for you.
Since you allude to oiling thru the push rods, or at least expecting to see oil out of the push rods I assume it's a magnum? If so, don't bother rotating it as that is not relevant.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

Hey Dog its been awhile. Here is where I am at: the lifter set that has maybe 10 minutes of run time on a prior eng & on the shelf HAS the plates with metered oil (I would love to toss these in if you guys think they are still OK on the bottom convex). the set in the eng now that precipitated this thread have metering plates with NO oil holes (they had no flow). I just now stopped by O'reillys on the way home & bought a single lifter (melling & I told the man 1975 dart with a 360) & I opened it up & its flat plate has NO holes (just like the ones in the eng now). PLEASE tell me I can use the 10 min run time set OR a brand/part # of some that are metered. EDIT I ain't tossed anything (yet).

You need lifters for an AMC.
Ask the local parts store for lifters for a 1974 AMC Javelin with a 360.
