I just my 292 back together new rod and mains new piston a total redo. Had the entire top end together. Put oil in and tried priming it up. I am getting about 40psi which is good and I can see the oil coming out of the rockers on the left side however on the right side nothing. So I pulled the rocker assembly off to verify that the hole was in the right spot. It was. So I pulled the head off to verify that the head gasket was on right. I was sure it was since the square tab was in front. Well the gasket was correct. So I spun the oil pump with the head off and still nothing out of that hole. This block has been taken to a machine shop and baked to clean it. Everything came back clean.
Does it just take longer to get oil to the right side since the oil pump is on the left side. I am guess it has nothing to do with the bearing since I am getting good oil flow out the left side rocker arms. Any suggestion or advice. This is my first y block rebuild and now I am frustrated.
