Default no upper lubrication in my rubicon

Hi. I have a 2007 Rubicon and I have no oil getting to the rocker arms or the cam. I put a gauge on the check port and have over 50 lbs of oil pressure at an idle. Has anybody out there had this problem with a rubicon? Does the oil go through the transmission and then get directed to the head assembly? I have taken the head off and rotated the engine with the starter and there is no oil coming up around the cylinder stud.

Thanks

The pressure is good .. If the top end isn't getting oil you'll have to dis-assemble it until you find the problem .. Has there been any work done on the engine , if there was then was there Hondabond or threebond used or silicone ..

A friend of mine used to much sillicone on the valve cover of his xr200r and silliconed the oil galley shut, the rubicon's cylinder also looks as if it sends the top end oil up a cylinder dowl
