quick update:
i tried rolling the motor over into several positions, to make sure it wasn't hydraulically locked and not letting it get access to an oil passage. i tapped on it again, no luck, solid as it gets. i personally primed this motor, and saw oil come out of EVERY rocker when you rolled it over. it always happened when the lifter was on the upswing....
i also pulled out the pushrods and looked into the lifters(matching pair, one that moved, one that didn't..) and the solid one does not seem to be collapsed, the cup appears to be at the same height(against the snap ring) as the one that moves......
that's all i got for now, time for a cold one..........
