From another thread with someone with a similar problem,



I am very nervous about letting it run four minutes with no oil. What do you guys think?

If it was a new or rebuilt engine, I would assume the gallery plug was missing. I have changed the oil every 3000 miles and there is absolutely no sludge visible on the head.
maybe somebody put the restrictors in the oil gallery for the solid lifters and has it to restricted, i guess you cant get to it to check that?
