Hi guys, quick question, when I was priming my 426 hemi. Oil come to both rocker shaft also exhaust rocker arms both passenger and driver side, without any problem. However, no oil coming from intake rocker arms, both side passenger and driver. ( I turn engine few times-Indy rocker arms). Any ideas?
 
Have you made sure the rocker shafts are oriented properly? There's a notch (some call it a banana groove) at one end. The manual says "Install rocker arm and shaft assemblies with "NOTCH" on end of rockershaft pointing to centerline of engine and toward front of engone on left bank and to the rear on right bank."

The shaft will bolt on different ways but only this way will allow proper oiling.
