Default Re: no oil at roller rockers

Finally got over to look at the engine. Bottom end looks good. Lifter bores are worn oblong and scared, one lifter(where broken pushrod is) has no oil hole in it? Roller rockers are all scored/ worn and some valve tips are also worn. The builder drilled and epoxied a oil fitting for gauge into the cavity where the oil filter goes, remote system used, oil gauge hole at top of block is plugged. All plugs are in place and the front oil gallery are staked in place. Can shows normal wear and lifters are not ruined. He is going to get a replacement engine rather than spend any money on this block.

Any other thoughts? Thanks all.
