Thanks guys.
Doug, I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying about the amount of oil flow I'm getting. Does it look like too much or not enough.
Current thinking based on some advice from trusted builder are to try a set of Howard's hydraulic roller lifters, re-install the pushrods (which probably won't be the right length anymore )and rockers and spin up the oil pump and see if they flow properly to the top of the head. If yes, drive the thing, if no, engine coming out.
