well after my problem of no oil to the rockers i took off my manifold found my push rods to be clean and my lifters not to be getting any oil. i took out my lifters and tried shooting compressed air into the oil passage near the water pump this also didn't work(assuming somethings clogged) what else can i do and where are the other oil passages that i can reach while the motor is in.

Was the distributor out when you tried the compressed air thing? You won't get any oil to the valve train with the distributor out. How is your oil pressure? Did it run and you didn't get oil to the rockers?
well, i forgot to mention did in another post and should have, i had the motor running a couple days ago, it has mechanical rollers and was running fine accept for the fact of no oil, figured push rods or lifters so i removed the intake manifold primed the motor with the drill, and noticed nothing coming out of th lifters so i took them out, and after all this still no oil getting to where the lifters should be. i figure a clogged oil passage? if not no idea, does the oil go through head gasket at all where maybe they sent the wrong one 2 me?

Primed it with a drill using what? If it was just a long rod, you'll never get oil pressure to the valve train.
got it from my neighbor, it just has the tooth and a little thing around the side of it to hold it sturdy kinda just like the bottom of dist with no teeth

You won't get oil to the valve train with that. If you look down the hole while it's spinning, you'll see where all your pressure is going. You need one like this: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...6&autoview=sku
well, i got the right primer and ended up taking the motor apart, i am going to pull the cam tomorrow, thinking its a cam bearing possibly the rear, though it sounded fine when running. anyone got any ideas?
