Look at the pic of the proper tool MikeB provided above, the piece that has the groove in it allows oil to go to both sides of the block... very simple oiling design of the Chevy engine. Look at the dizzy, it has the same type of groove in it as well....this is at the top part of the tool. I made a tool out of a old dizzy, the housing of the dizzy will allow the oil to go to both sides just like the tool mentioned. The oil can not get though the lifters and up the push rods... Crank position at this point has no effect on oil getting up the push rods....
