I put the drill on the oil primer and watched the rocker arms. The driver side worked really well, oil all over the place. However the passenger side had no oil coming out of the rocker arms (pushrods). Help! Help! Help! | | |

Started engine and still flowed oil on one side. Finally figured out I needed an old distributor housing to seal holes inside and it primed and worked great. | | |

You will have to be sure and remove the cam gear on the shaft so it wont engage with the cam. | | |
