I am getting a lot of "experience" on the FE oiling system with my "Frankenstein 390"; you can look at my thread on this site to see what not oiling the lifters will do!
For the rest of you guys, I have a question - the Frankenstein motor had pushrods with no holes in the ends. I bought a complete set of new pushrods and they have oiling holes in both ends. Does the FE motor send oil up thru the pushrods to the rocker arm or not?

Second question for you FE guys: I can't budge the 5/16 X 1/4 socket-head button screws that hold the camshaft retainer plate onto the block. I have tried an impact screwdriver, I have cut off a hex socket as short as possible and tried to loosen them; no good. I hate to get the torch out to heat the two bolts up or have to drill them out, I am stuck. literally
