Quote: All of the rockers are oriented correctly. Already checked that. I primed the oil pump and turned the crank to make sure oil was flowing to both sides through all the passages.
Did you actually see oil coming out of the rockers? You say "rockers are oriented correctly". perhaps its just the way you're saying it, but you do realize that we're asking about the rocker SHAFTS, Not the rockers themselves, right?? The rockers can be on correctly, but if the shafts are installed on the wrong sides, you'll get no oil to the rockers.
It sounds like you've got something in the oil that isn't supposed to be there, though. I'd drain out the oil and re-fill with some good break-in oil then try again. Good luck!
