My 440 engine is fresh from the machine shop and I've reinstalled it in my 67 RT. With the distributor removed and with drill and priming rod in hand I began counter clockwise rotation of the oil pump. I was vey surprised to find that I have no oil going to the top side of the driver side head. I've tried searching for answers to this problem in the fbbo forum and the only thing I could come up with is the engine shop either seriously screwed up, or that by having the number 1 cylinder set at tdc, at that position has covered the hole for oil to flow to the top of the left side head. However If the engine was actually rotating the oil galley hole would only be blocked for a split second but otherwise would get oil for the rest of the cam rotation. I don't know if I misread the post but I was hoping someone could shed some light on this before I pickup the phone and start yelling at someone.
