No oil to rockers?
 

Purchased a set of Comp hydraulic lifters and it is now getting some oil to the rockers. The difference between the two lifters is that the side oil hole is just a little higher on Comp parts. Thanks to all that sent suggestions.

Wrong lifters? Spinning the drill CCW instead of CW?

If all you did was change cam and lifters(nothing else) then I would say you got the wrong lifters. What year 283?

Have some work the drill and then turn the crank by hand at the same time.

Does your cam have the notch at the rear journal or does all Chevrolet cams have that? Did you by any chance put the 6 plugs in the block to far? When you primed the block did you remove the 1/8" pipe plug in front of the block to see if you are getting oil up front, if so it might be what the other Gentlemen have said about the lifters or have you run a wire down through the push rods? I know this is basic knowledge and I know you probably have built alot of Chevy Motors in your life time but you were asking for suggestions.

Remove the intake, prime it, does the oil exit bottom of the lifter heavily? If so the lifter is wrong .

This may sound crazy but I have seen it. Did you look at the lifters to make sure they all have the oil hole drilled in the band?
