The gear train is lubicated by the front cam bearing run off. If the gear train is not lubed the oil hole in the gear may not be lined up with the oil hole in the cam or obstructed. Go to the link below and read the cam pages. Click on the page to enlarge for reading. The rest of the cam assembly including the center & rear bearings, lobes, lifters, distributor drive & driven gears are lubicated down through the pushrod holes from the top deck run off. I would pull the valve cover, run the engine, and make sure you are getting sufficient oil up to the rocker arms and run off down the pushrod holes. Joe VA service manual [Reply]  [No Email]
