oil pressure

[Scott Maxwell]

I have a 1969 340 just finished rebuilding motor new high volume oil pump, I have tried to prime oil pump have over 80 lbs pressure on oil gauge but have no oil coming to rockers what have I done wrong?

First thing comes to mind is the rocker shafts are upside down. The oil comes thru the heads into the rocker shaft. The side with the holes need to be facing down.

I have them on bottom I just took 1 rocker shaft off thinking oil should come flying out of bolt hole for shaft but nothing coming out

you need to rotate the engine slowly to line up the oil holes for the rockers.

spin your oil pump up and rotate the engine slowly

spin your oil pump up and rotate the engine slowly

Also the left and right sides line up at different positions. So when you get oil to the passenger side it's not giving oil to the driver side at the same time. You have to keep rotating it to line up the other side.
