Heres the story, when I turn on my car on I don't get any oil coming out of the RR, the lifters are new and before this happend the motor was taken out and cheeked out too see if any of the oil gallies were cloged. What could be another reason for the loss of oil on the RR. Keep in mind the RR, push rods, and lifters are new, unless the RR are defective. I was talking to my friend that works for a Honda shop and he told me that on some hondas if you install the head gasket backwards it blocks an oil passage way and caused loss of oil on the RR, so my question is, if you intall a head gasket backwards on an LT1 is there an oil passage way that could be blocked and cause loss of oil up top??
Thanks Roger

Sounds like the rockers are adjusted too tight and bottomed out the lifters. I would back off the lifters to a 1/8 turn past zero lash and it will free them up for oiling.
