Did the oil pressure idiot light go out after you cranked awhile?
I think the thing to do now with the unknown oil situation is to get a oil pressure gauge hooked up. Then you can determine if you have a head oil problem or a more serious no oil at all issue.
The only time you have head oil issues is when putting a late model head (A12A and up) on an early block. The early A12's (and A10's?) had an oil passage in the head that got the oil into the center headbolt hole. On the later motors the passage to transfer the oil from the oil passage to the center headbolt hole is done in the block and the passage in the head is not drilled out.
All the heads have a oil passage that goes from near the top of the center headbolt hole into the center rocker tower.
I guess if you got the tower order messed up you could end up with out a oil passage to get oil into the rocker tube.
