Hello this is my first visit here and I have a problem I was hoping somebody might be able to help me with. I have a 67 Chevelle with a 427 in it. I have one rocker that is getting no oil and two that are squirting. I have replaced the pushrod, rocker, and lifter. Still no oil. I ran the motor for about 3-5 min after installing the new lifter. Is it possible that it needs more time to get oil through it? I very well could be overlooking something also. Thank you...

It will take a bit to completely prime the lifter you replaced. My suggestion is look closely at your Valve lash, 1/2 turn past zero for hydraulic flat tapets. Are you getting good movement (rotation) on the rod? What about lift, sure the lobe hasn't gone flat? Good luck with your endeavors, welcome to Team chevelle. JN

squirting? They may just need more lash. Usually a half turn.
