Default Small Block Question
I have a new , just uncrated 350 ram jet. I installed the drill with the oil primer and I can not get oil on the left (passenger side) rocker arms. The other side after 3 - 5 minutes was oiling but I never got oil to the other side. Anyone got any Ideas? I know I have heard of this before but whats the solution.

Just spinning the oil pump will do just as you describe. You need the proper tool (at any auto store for under $20). Then you will get pressure to both sides.
