340 Oil Priming Question First Start

So, a note of caution, when you put it back together. Make sure the pushrods are seated in the center of the lifter. Due to the small blocks crazy lifter angle, you can have the pushrod sitting were the lifter body and plunger meet. Off center, that can hold the valve open or it reduces your piston to valve clearance. You can look through the opening and see that the pushrod is center. I look at every one! It will scare the crap out of you when it SNAPS into place! Don’t ask me how I know……:) Also if one adjuster is way different from the others. REALLY look at that one.
