It is pushrod oiling, no spray bars in the valve covers yet. Any ideas what is going on? 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda 1970 Plum Crazy "Gold Duster" 1973 Gold Duster

Roll the engine over with a breaker bar, the oiling holes in the lifters might nnot be lining up... hopefully the bushings were drilled in the lifter bores

Spin the motor so #8 ex valve is just closing from fully open , this will line the cam bearing to oil way on pas bank , another 270* crank rotation will get the drivers side lined up , i found removing rocker shaft bolt will speed thing up regards oiling to heads.
