Rocker shims = NO rocker shaft oiling

I'm not sure how much was off the head and the machine shop couldn't tell me, which is another story. On my initial assembly though everything seemed really tight pushrod wise. The pushrods need to spin at some point...correct?
Probably not at top dead center with the intake valve on compression, but it seemed I had to back it off quite a bit to get it to spin. Leading me to believe the push rods were too perhaps too long.
