I have Totaly rebuilt my 1500 bmc. My oil pressure is fine, but I don't seem to get much flow to the head. The rocker shaft stays full as it runs, and it drips oil from all the rockers, but not very quickly...... I seem to remember more oil flow? The valves don't seem to get splattered / splashed....... there is oil flow ..... But...... All the oil ways are clear....... How much oil should there be? I can run the engine at idle and the oil doesn't overspill the edges of the head..... Are the valves mist fed or splash? Please help!
