need help with sbc

got everything put back together and running fine now but still no oil coming out of the pushrods. i took all the lifters apart and cleaned all internal pieces, new trickflow pushrods and new roller rockers, do you have any idea why i would not get oil at idle? am i supposed to get it then or just at higher rpm?
 
you should get oil at idle, try backing off the adjustment nut at idle a 1/4 turn at a time and see if things improve, its VERY common for guys to take up to much lash or pre-load if they adjust lifters with the non-running methods of lifter adjustment

not sure whats going on, but i adjusted all of them with the engine at idle. when i loosen them up to where they are clicking really goo, only some of them start pouring oil out of them.
