Priming the oil system....
So I was priming the oil system on my L98 today before initial start-up and the #1 intake rocker is burping and bubbling up oil. It is definitly getting oil up the pushrod but not nearly in pace with all the others. Do I need to do something about this?
Keep priming till it gets there....I don't know if my Makita power drill can make it...
Lets hear it!

I wouldn't fret it... that's one of the farthest rockers, and at that RPM, what, 400? yea....
If the drill would spin at 1000 or so, and do so with enough torque to not bog down, then it would be ok.
I would test fire the motor. You have oil where it counts. On all the bearings, rockers, etc.
Fire it up, make sure the rockers get oil...
