My head hurts from reading what you type. Makes no damn sense.

Wrong length Pushrods wil not affect oil coming through them to the top.

How long have you had it running or are you just rolling it over to prime the oil system?

We drove about 100 miles and it's idled a lot in dw. I pulled a pushrod oil came out of the bottom of it so it's not reaching top for some reason.
