oil circulation question
ive got an 89 350 tpi and i just replaced the headgaskets and noticed when i started it up with the valve covers off to adjust the valve lash i noticed that the was alot of oil would be coming out of some of the rocker arms and vertually none coming out of two of them.
i put sealant on the head bolts and i just want to know if the sealant i put on could have clogged the oil passages or that some parts get of the motor gets more oil than others.
if it is clogged. if, what would i do to unclog it?
thanks in advance.

Re: oil circulation question
I wouldn't be too worried about it unless there was no oil at all coming up. There are no oil passages through the deck.

Re: oil circulation question
