Rocker Arm Oiling question
from another post by 70aarcuda
On a small block:
Turn the motor to 90* before top dead center coming up on #1 compression. The pass. side rockers should get oil.
Turn the motor to 20* after top dead center just past #6 compression. The drivers side rockers should get oil.
I never fire a motor without priming oil, fuel and setting initial timing for cam break in.
OP has a crate motor and the easiest way to verify the cam bearing lube passage is correct is to prime the oil system and check for rocker oil.
