My 470/409 took forever to get it to the top on every one and I even used an old distributor to seal the passges or Chevies won't get it to the top. I think it was like Cliff mentioned where the oil bands of the lifters were.

On my Pontiacs I usually do it with teh valley pan off to see if there are any leaks around the lifters. My old 72 HO block did for a flat tappet around where the holes were tapped for lifter restrictors. Had to go taller rollers on that block.
