    Engine type?

    Mine were sporatic. Started with three on the drivers side, then two on the passenger side, then I lost track of which ones got oil next, it just took some time. I was probably on it for at least 30 minutes before all the rockers had oil on them.
    Escaped on a technicality.

        rotate the engine some with a pull bar. see if that gets the oil up there.

            Dave got it, I was using just a shaft with no collar. got another distributor(hard to do on a sunday in a small damn town) ..
            ripped it apart, ground down the shaft to fit in the drill, and boom... oil on both sides.

            thanks the input guys!
