No oil to rockers?

This may sound crazy but I have seen it. Did you look at the lifters to make sure they all have the oil hole drilled in the band?

check the oil hole in the lifter and see if it meets the oil galley, if it doesn't then mill a .003 groove from oil radius on lifter to oil hole on the lifter. I had to due that on my son's super stock motor, they where not cheap lifter's .

We?ve had to take a dremel and very slightly grove down ( tiny groove) from the oil hole to the recess. Seen this about a dozen times.
