Not a Chevy guy but Google wonders if the AFM tower passages are safely plugged after the DOD delete? I saw some mention of rivets to keep some holes plugged.

If the “74” in the username is a birth year, the OP is actually pushing 50.Thisisacommontraitoftheyoungerfolk. Onebigsentence.
Block was as clean as we could get it all wash out with break clean. All the parts were also washed with a parts washer.cam bearings were all new. As far as oil flow im not sure how they do it.
Thanks for reminding me.
The plugs came with the kit. They were a aluminum drive in.
I went with a stage 1 kit from Texas Speed and performance and it came with aluminum drive in plugs.

OK, perfect, didn't see it mentioned in the OP and I had remembered reading that something had to be plugged.
first step is to measure oil pressure with a known good gage.
if it fails the oil pressure test... and you cant find the obvious I have tested for internal leaks in an engine by removing the pan
and using a pressurized vessel that has oil in it and pressurized the lube passages thru the oil sensor port.
never done it at home but at my job we used an air tank filled with oil
I don't doubt a 2 gallon garden type sprayer would work if you can rig up the correct attachments.
