Hi,
I built a 292 about a year ago, I noticed when I had the valve covers off tonight to set the valves that it was sort of dry in there. I pulled the distributor and primed the engine and no oil was going to the rockers, so I pulled the shafts and no oil was coming out of the hole in the head.
It had plenty of oil to the rockers when the engine was first primed before I started it for the first time.
The engine was running fine, good oil PSI, 75 when on the gas, no lifter noise. Only 200 miles if that.
When I rebuilt the engine I had a machine shop install new cam bearings, I also installed a new cam and lifters, I don't remember if the cam was grooved or cross drilled.
I'm sure it needs to come apart.
Any ideas what might have happened?
Thanks,
Ed
