Has the engine ever been cracked open at all? How do you know oil's not getting to the top? How long has it been this way?
If the engine is stock and never been touched, yet oil somehow just stopped getting to the top I'd start with very simple questions. Checked your oil level? What's the oil pressure reading at idle cold and hot?
If you are just assuming this is the problem because the valvetrain is very noisy then I'd start with a different assumption.

well i took the valve covers off and hooked the car back up and cranked it and there was no oil being shot up even when reved. oil level was fine and pressure on the gauge is normal but still no oil in vc's
