I bought a 93 short block that is ready to be fired up. I used a primer and turned it ccw for about 3 min. at high speed. No oil came up to the top of the heads/valve area. Oil should come up here under pressure right? It doesn't just come from the lifters does it? When I bought this shortblock, I had to put 4 plugs in the block to keep water from coming out, are there some oil restrictor plugs that I missed while building it? Where are they and what size are they? Or am I just freaking out over nothing? Thanks.
