rockers not oiling

I just got the new lifters and roller rockers on and i fired it up today. Had it running for a little and it didn't seem like all the rockers were oiling. I used the stock pushrods but i dont know if i just got a little paranoid or not. Some of them are but it doesnt seem like all of them are. What do ya guys think? Oh and is there any reason that my oil pressure gauge pegged itself all the way to the top and now it's stuck?

You should have poured some oil on the valvetrain before firing it up. It takes a while for all the lifters/pushrods to oil.

The likely reason your o/p gauge is pegged is because it is disconnnected or the wire or sensor is broken.
