ticking at high rpm

It's not a magnum, but you're oiling through the pushrods, is there any advantage to that?

How else does it get oil? I am confused..I am re using the rocker arms and pushrods that were in the motor when i rebuilt it.. I ran the motor without valve covers and it looked like oil is coming out of the rocker arms where the pushrods are..Isn't that normal for an LA small block?
