Hi,
I'm starting up a newly rebuilt engine and getting 40/60 psi at 500/1500 rpms 
at the gauge but only seeing a 'dribble' of oil coming out of the holes in the 
top of the rocker arms. The top of the head is all wet but I was expecting more 
of a spray to lubricate the springs, etc. I also had surface rust forming on 
the inside of the valve cover, indicating dry conditions. What's normal?
 
Thanks,
Steve Belfield
