Yes engine did set 20+ years with oil switch removed,although I think It was covered,also I thoroughly cleaned with solvent and blew all that out,before I did anything!!I really don't believe any of that is blocked,although anything Is possible!I did verify that i have oil flow coming through the left longitudal gallerie when I pulled oil filt line's and blew through them!I have not yet pulled valve cover's and verified sufficient oil flow coming through shaft and rocker's,but i will after I correct oil pressure,If noise persist's!!As to my experience level,I am a certified diesel mechanic,I just have never had High oil pressure and rocker noise on the same engine!!Also this Is the first time I have ever worked on a Packard v8,so I know a lot of you guy's have far more experience as to the personality,and problem's that exist with these engine's,and I appreciate your help!!Well I guess It's time to go pull that D**n oil pan again!! I will advise on what I find,Thanks!!!
