hey, I took off the valve covers on my trick flow heads and turned the car on and there isnt any oil getting to the first two roller rockers at the front, driver side. could this be because of my lifters? i checked the pushrods, they arent plugged.

do this...remove the distributor and use a oil pump priming tool to spin the oil pump drive shaft(or a long 1/4 extension with the right size socket,but be careful and tape the assy together). run the pump and find the prob by removing the lifter, etc. dont run the engine
