You do not have the proper rods. The rods on a series I are not pressure fed through the crankshaft! The rods on a series 1 are lubed by oil slung from holes in the cam on to the rods, and entering the drilled holes on the rods. Make sure to install rods so holes face cam. Series I is a low oil pressure engine with oil feeding one main, and through the cam to the other main. Series II is fully pressurized oil system (including rods) with improved sump, and Magnum's are fully pressurized with oil filter capabilities and better pistons/rods/mags.
