thanks. I did do it right then. The engine is all back together and the oil pressure is reading 30 it should read like 55 and no oil is coming to the rocker arms. I dont know what it is. We primed the pump and when nothing came up we replaced it with a high volume one. Primed that one and same thing, no oil up top. Whats the deal?? I dont know where to go from here.

are you turning the motor over while you prime it? how long are you priming it?
2 things when getting oil to the rockers, usually it takes a LONG TIME first of all, second of all somtimes you need to turn the motor over a little because of the location of the lifters in their bores depending on the base circle of the cam and the height of the lifters the oil hole may be too high up or too low.
