i have a brand new .060 fully forged lt1 with the canton oil pan and ported lt1 heads with all new valvetrain.....i finally got the car to start and idle for the first time lastnight. My question is, it seems like there isnt much oil in the valvetrain area.....other than the oil that was added... Does the car need to run for awhile?? the guage reads around 60 when idling but has never been up to temp. I have a stock dipstick and tube and it doesnt seem like its really reading that theres much oil in it.........but i know theres atleast 5.5 quarts...... Any suggestions would help

When it warms up it will thin out the oil and squirt further out og the rockers usually, dud you used a HV pump? Every time i did the rockers spray oil out right over the rocker stud right over to the roller tip.

what kind of rockers are u using? I know a lot of times the 1.6's at idle won't let much oil reach the top of the motor.
