oiling problem,need help!!

I've got a 383 that does not get oil to the driver side rocker arms.I only ran the motor for a min or so,and pulled the valve covers off just to look.The passenger side seems fine,but I haven't hooked my oil pressure gauge up yet,so I don't know what the actual pressure is.

Re: oiling problem,need help!!

take the valve covers off and run it for about 10-20 min after checking the oil preasure

while the engine is running get a oil squirt can and hit the non oiling rockers from time to time

after 10 mins the rockers should get oil

if not take the pushrods out and soak them in gas and blow out with compressed air
