I want to see if oil is going up too all the rockers.
I just finished installing new lifters and im paranoid. First time i take off heads on any car lol.
The lowest i saw my oil pressure was 27 psi and that was after some spirited driving. Oil was @ 226 f and coolant was @ 208f.

I use a external oil pump (prime the engine) before I start a engine with any internals worked on !!!

Get a set of used LS Valve Covers, chop the top off and RTV on a Plexiglas cover.
Im sure VETTENUTS has some used covers for not a lot of money.
