New Guy Here With a Pre-Oiling Problem
Hi all,
This is my first post. I've been lurking for a while and I think this site is one of the most informative ones I've seen yet.
I really hope someone here can help me with this problem I have.
I just got my 350 assembled and I'm in the process of pre-oiling it. I'm using a tool that blocks off the distributor hole and my pressure gauge reads 55lb.
The problem is, I can't get the oil to the rockers. Some are showing a tiny bit but others are dry. I removed a lifter and felt for pressure in the galley and although I felt some flow, it seemed like it might not be enough. I tried rotating the crank 180deg but it still doesn't help.
I'm also pretty sure I got all of the galley plugs (even the one under the rear main cap) in.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
That's going to be nice, like the color. .
