When you put a new 350 you have oil pressure but no oil to the rocker arms why?

Cam bearings installed wrong, ( covering the oil gallery holes up)
The push rods are stoped up.
DID YOU PRIME THE ENGINE OIL SYSTEM ???
I think you did not let it run long enough for the lifters to filll up with oil.
There is also 3 oil gallery plugs in the front of the engine behind the timing cover
right behind the cam gear. If they weren't put back in then the lifters won't fill up with oil. It will just push the oil out the front of engine. ( NO OIL PRESSURE ON TOP )

You just put in a new 350 you have good oil pressure to the gauge but no oil to the rocker arms why?
A spun cam bearing, or just bad cam bearings period. Push rods stoped up, Need cleaned.
I'm not getting more then 60 lbs for compression on your 350 motor and it was just rebuilt and it wont run it back fires through the carb and spits through the exhaust im stumped pls help?
The rocker arms are probably adjusted too tight and hanging valves. Or the rings were installed incorrectly. You will be lucky not to need a new cam if it's you rocker arms.
How do you remove pushrods on a ford?
Take off the valve covers on the top end of your engine. Remove the rocker arms and the push rods will free up. Pull each push rod out one by one inspecting each to see if any of them are bent. For re-installation prep the heads by cleaning any residue on the housing. Inspect rocker arms as the new push rods have to re-seat unless you purchase new rocker arms. Replace gaskets and seal with RTV after the arms and rods have been properly torqued. Good Luck!
How do you get better lift on stock 350 heads?
there is one way to do this short of installing a new cam shaft. small block chevys came with two types of rocker arms. one is a 1.5 ratio and the other is a 1.6 ratio. if you have the 1.5s now you will get more lift changing to a 1.6.
How do you fix a rocker arm if it is loose or broken in your car?
Your best bet is to buy the manual. There are multiple ways of adjusting rockers and it depends on the vehicle. Your loose rocker arm may also be an indication of a bent push rod, bent valve, or worn out cam. there are 2 types of rocker arm studs pressed in and threaded in. if it is pressed i suggest buying the same size threaded stud, tapping the hole and using 2 stacked nuts screw it into the hole in the head. if its threaded just remove the old one and thread in the new one, be sure to check torque value for this application answer if a rocker arm is broken, u need to remove rocker cover the rocker arms are all on one tube bolted to the head remove the nuts that secure this tube slide as many rocker arms as need to get to broken rocker arm, off the tube replace with new rocker arm replace others that u needed to remove. sit tube with rocker arms back in place making sure that u align all rocker arms to the proper place tighten securing nuts to proper torque over tightening will break the studs then adjust rockers to specs if engine has hydraulic lifters you will not have to adjust replace rocker covers using new gaskets if the rocker ram is loose, adjust to specs if engine has hydraulic ligters, torque to specs job is done

Why don't brand new lifters stop ticking after correct valve adjustment?
Worn or bent push rods or worn rocker arms. Incorrect adjustment procedure. depending on what type of lifters some of them have to be pumped up manually .Worn or bent push rods or worn rocker arms.

Will a yfz450 a arms fit a raptor 350?
If you want to put just the yfz450 shocks on a raptor 350 and not buy new A-Arms because you can buy extenders. Because i just bought their +6" A-Arm extension kit on eBay They have a kit specifically made to fit the 450 shocks on the raptor 350. It is under 100$ and its way cheaper than wider A-Arms. http:/stores.ebay.com/Diamond-J-Customs
1997 350 vortec installed new intake gaskets now losing fuel pressure?
Check the pressure regulator, fuel filter and fuel pump.
You would like to replace the tired 250cid on your 1976 Chevy short-stepside with a 350. What would be a better choice a Classic 350 or 1990s 350 vortec?
Stick with Classic 350 on regular gas. I'd go with an 87-up 350. The one-piece oil pan seal and raised-rail rocker covers are less prone to leaks. no by fare use a new motal better evry thang
What are the torque specs for valves on 1997 Chevy 350 5.7l?
Valves are not tourqued. There are no bolts on them at all. they are held in by keepersAnswerI believe what you are asking is "how do you torque the rocker arms" on a SB Chevy. As long as it is mostly stock, and not using solid lifters, the following is the proper method for setting the torque. Start the engine and let it warm for at least 15 minutes, then shut down the engine.Remove the valve cover on one side (does not matter which) and restart the engine.One valve at a time, loosen the nut holding the rocker arm down until it starts to "tick", then retighten the rocker arm slowly until the ticking stops. At this point then turn your wrench slowly 1/2 to 3/4 turn more, and your done. Move to the next rocker arm and repeat the prosses until all 4 cylinders (8 rocker arms) have been properly torqued.When you have torqued all the rocker arms on the one side of the engine, stop the engine, clean up the oil that will have spurted all over and made a mess, replace the valve cover complete with a new gasket, and then move the other side of the engine repeating the prosses for all the rocker arms on that side.It sounds simple, and in fact it really is. Just remember to go slowly when you are tightening the nut holding the rocker arms in place, and to check the oil when you are done. It's messy so you may want to let the engine cool after you are done and clean it up with soap and water.I would just like to add that there are valve clips that you can buy that fit on the top side of the valve, so that a minimal amount of oil will be lost. I like this method of adjusting.
