If you think the pushrods are clogged, take them out and blow forced air
through them. If you think the lifters are clogged, I have heard people say
that you can give the rocker a tap with a hammer as the pushrod comes up,
and it will force the crud out of the lifter. I have not tried this myself,
so get a second opinion.

> I am wanting to check the oiling of my engine because I have had some
camshaft problems. When I prime the motor before I start it, will I see the
oil coming throught the pushrods. I want to see if I have a blocked oil hole
in one or more of the lifter bores. I was thinking about priming the motor
before I put the intake manifold on so I can see how will the motor is
oiling. Will I see the oil pumping to the top of the motor when I prime it.
I am not sure if the oil will pass through the lifters when the lifters are
not on the base circle of the camshaft which is when the lifters gets pumped
back up.
