92 Roller Lifter Block

Do the late 350 Roller Lifter blocks have the same oil flow to the Rocker arms as the old non roller blocks.
I just built a 92 350 , I used the factory Roller Lifters with a
.520 int .530 ex lift cam Duration 220int 235ex 114 lobe seperation.
I get very little oil flow to the Rocker arms, is this normal.
and my valve trane is noisey.
I know old small blocks would shoot oil over the fender well at Idle.
My oil pressure is indicating 50psi.

Any thoughts

Yes they are identical.

The relationship of the hole in the end of the push rod and the hole in th erocker will determine whether oil shoots out and merely fills up the vale cover and gets hot, or whether it actually gets to coat the moving parts.

I would look for other sources of valve train noise. Roller rockers are not particularly noisy, no more so than others in my experience. Look for push rods hitting guide slots in the heads, or the guide plates; springs that make noise (yes, they definitely do sometimes, from the spring rubbing the damper or whatever); the push rod end of the rocker hitting the valve covers; etc.
