The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 235-261 head no oil to rockers

hi chaps...here we go again...got engine back in the frame...good commpresion...timing all fixed up

run up for 20 mins but cant see any oil coming out to rockers?

should it need more time? i primed the oil pump with a screw driver and oil still didnt come to the top?

under the side plate i have the copper feed pipe.. i have no special head bolt as think the block is 1956...

before running it i covered rocker assemble in oil so its hard to tell for sure...i

there is a small bolt which blanks off just above the distributor, whith this removed no oil comes out? (the head i removed beofre fitting an 848 had a pipe fitting here?

anything else i can do?

just to note.. engine should have remote filter fitted..but i am using a clear pipe for now...and i can see oil pumping...also when priming with screwdriver in drill...oil is flying out of these conections...( i checked by removing the one closest to rear of engine!)

B-) fixed....removed side plate and distbutor...put drill bit in again..removed copper feed pipe...and crank...loads of rubbish and gunk came out and in turn had blocked the pipe....
