bobw is right on! Make sure the drilling to the intake manifold is not plugged. Some people use to much sealer on the intake gaskets and it is easy to plug up the pumping system. The pumping starts at the lower main bearing then it goes up to the top bearing through a small rubber hose. It ends up on the suction side of the reed valve. If it is plugged off at the top gas/oil mix will splash all over the points and coils.
