A514 LASH Part 2

Ok, so we set the lash at .20 to start. Engine fired right up, scary low oil pressure.. 15- 25.... So I pulled the dist all looked well stuck my old home made dist made into a primer in. spun it with a drill 70 psi. poked it all back together ,same thing low.... I looked thru one a pushrod holes n the link bars are to the outside, I think this is the prob. should I slap him now ??

What lifters? Mine from Cam Motion are to the inside...

On the comp cams and crower lifters I have had the link bars went to the inside.

With some brands it won't matter but, most need the link bars to be toward the center of the engine.

Mine are from Cam Motion and need to go towards the inside.

all parts are from Ford Racing

Then it is a CRANE style lifter and NEEDS to have the link bars toward the engine center or the oil will end-up in the valve covers.

check the hex in the end of the dist. can be slipping over the shaft drive .
