Re: New to me engine

54 psi with a hand drill is EXCELLENT! You never get oil out all the rockers on a static motor oil prime especially with hydrohalic lifters... That's what the assembly lube is for. Button that baby up and run it! ALWAYS use the EOIC (Exhaust Opening Intake Closing) method for setting valve lash. Since your using hydrohalic lifters, once the pushrod will not move Vertically (Not Spinning!) The spinning the push rod method can get you into trouble! Just move the push rod up and down while tightening the rocker nut. Once zero clearance is established (no more linier movement) give the nut another 1/2 turn and your golden!
