If any of the lifters are getting oil, they all are. The oil gallery is about 1/2" in diameter, and runs from front to back, past all the lifters. Sometimes the adjustment is pretty critical, as holes in both parts of the lifter must align before oil will flow up the pushrod. With both valves fully closed, adjust the rocker arm to just eliminate any slack, then tighten the nut 3/4 to 1 turn clockwise. Running valve adjustments just don't work!
