'89 roller-cam LA 360 w/Magnum heads - new roller lifters not pumping up

On a small block:
Turn the motor to 90* before top dead center coming up on #1 compression. The pass. side rockers should get oil.
Turn the motor to 20* after top dead center just past #6 compression. The drivers side rockers should get oil.

LA engines do not oil thru the pushrod....LA engines oil thru the cylinder head...

That's to index the camshaft for rocker shaft oiling. This is a roller cam LA 360 that has Magnum heads and pushrods on it - thus, Magnum rockers and pushrod oiling. No more rocker shaft.

It's virtually identical to a base Magnum 5.9 crate motor now, even though it was born an LA 360.
