Then we cranked here up ...noticing that there was no oil coming out the top off the push rods/lifters ...we shut it down after about 2-4mjnutes... engine has oil pressure and everything else seems to be fine..how long does it take for oil to come through usually ? Straight away 5 mins?? what's a diagnosis. Have we ####ed Somthing bad I just need bit off Info from the right people cheers. An be a real help iff Someone could guide me in right direction thanks tony

I would be worried if your not getting oil pressure to the top end after 30 seconds max......don't want to flatten a cam lobe

Did you replace it with a high volume oil pump ?
