I just plugged the tap above the filter, I guess I'll leave it plugged. I didn't even know there was another tap behind the distributer on the block.
Since I was turning the pump at close to 1000 engine rpm's, should it take almost 2 minutes for oil to get to the rockers? I didn't think it should have taken that long.
Also, I can wiggle my rockers side to side a little bit when they are on the cam base circle. They are rock solid once they start pushing the valve, but should they have that slack in them when they are at zero lift?
It makes sense that they should to allow for pump up and warm up, but some of them were real loose.
I've also heard mixed opinions of whether or not to adjust them with the lifters pumped up. Some say that if they are pumped they can act "solid," and that if you leave them dry they will spring to their relaxed state and allow for adjustment.
