I’m checking for oil with the drill for my first time. Intake is still off so I can see easily where the engine is stroke wise and I planned to put more cam lube on after all the test turning is done. The machine shop cleaned, honed and installed cam bearings. From there it’s my responsibility and I did not check the cam bearing hole alignment.
That said I’ve got Lucas 30 weight break in oil in it and it’s cold in the garage. I got up to 90 lbs oil pressure according to how fast I spun the drill. It would hold 50 barely turning. I had no help to turn the crank so set it to 90 degrees btdc on compression stroke. No oil to passenger side head. Tried a few degrees either way but did not find oil. Worrisome part is I saw no oil anywhere! Shouldn’t I have seen oil around the lifters? Worried.
