Poor HKS cams arent' getting their lobes squirted. I'm fairly certain that these feed rails are on correctly yet the cam lobes are dry as a bone. We have instituted a mechanical oil pressure gauge and a low pressure warning light on the car which never gave any indication of low oil pressure on initial startup. What gives? Are the Greddy RAS interfering with the functionality of the Banjo fitting on the end of the rail?

did you check your oil pan for any dents at all... even the smallest dent can effect the oil pump...

It's a greddy pan, no damage.

The engine has pressure, the thing is that the cam journals are getting oil via the head but the squirters aren't. I think that the squirter rails are being blocked by the Greddy RAS? Possible?
