I just tried starting the 85 5.0 HO thats in my 63 fairlane. While the motor was out, i put trick flow twisted wedge heads on it, re-using the stock hydraulic roller lifters. I replaced the push rods with the rcommended length Trick Flow push rods. I also installed the trick flow stage 1 cam. I started the motor, and was alarmed by a high pitched squealing noise. the motor did not run for more than 15 seconds. After puling a valve cover i observed that very little oil was coming up over the lifters. I primed the pump with a drill while the valve cover was off, and the oil was trickling out of the pushrods, but not nearly as much as i imagine there should be. Im nervous and baffled. PLEASE HELP ME figure out whythe oil isnt making it up top!!! thanks in advance- joe
