Most lifters have the hollow cup though some lifters use hollow cups for standardization of parts but do not actually oil thru (dissassemble one to find out) but the prob is that splash from the end of the p rod will not reach the shaft/rocker contact area and MAY not put enough on the stem as mag pedestal rockers for instance are different and have a hole in the top w a nub to direct spray.

Ok, I got the pump primed and it is still only oiling on the 1 side. I want to put the hollow push rods in it instead of tearing it down. I have the MP 484 cam and lifters in it, will these lifters work with the hollow push rods are will I have to change them too? Thanks Ronnie 
Did you turn the engine over while priming or is thins with the engine running?? Remember that the engine only oils one side at a time depending on the cam position.

You can not HALFASS it by putting on hollow pushrods , how is the oil going to get UNDER the rockers?
You are going to have to tear into it to find the problem, obviously you don't want to but there is no way around it, if you ran it and it didn't oil that side something is blocking the passage.
My heads hurts so I'm not going to go back and reread this , did you put a wire down the oil passage on that side ? If so how far did it go ? Sometimes that passage can be blocked with old hard oil if that head was originally on the opposite side of the engine and it didn't get cleaned out . ? Just a thought .

Pull that shaft and post a picture.
Why ? If it was on upside down he would see the holes with the valve cover off ... I'm ASSuMEing he is NOT blind ...  ..., ASSuMEing he has stamped steel rockers and even if it were on backwards , the hole towards the intake instead of the exhaust, he would still get oil out, it just doesn't direct the oil under pressure to the area that gets the most contact, the groove in a stamped rocker goes front to back so it still gets full oil flow.

I don't have any way to post a picture. But I can assure you that is on right, I have had it off several times. I ran a wire down it and it is clean and run the wire down the oil hole. So it is either tear the motor down are swap out the push rods and lifters. Ronnie
What kind of rockers are you using ?

I'm sure he got the bearing in it wrong so now I'm going to have to decide what to do about it. I really don't want to tear the motor back down that is why I was thinking about changing the push rods and lifters, I have been told that would work by some and that it wouldn't work by others. I have just got to decide what to do. Ronnie
You would also need to change the rockers they would need a hole for the oil go through stock rockers don't have this. Also must lifters now days are capable of pushrod oiling just look for the oil hole where the pushrod sits.
