Hello Dave, I have a oil line from block passage that pipes it up to the front of the head into the head to another line that feeds the front rocker stand into the rocker shaft filling ity with oil then it is to go down push rods and out the oil hole down the top of rocker to valve tappet.. I went down the free way today and have yet to take cover off to see what it has done but will post when I do this thanks Jeff

Thanks for all who replyed but I'm still not getting oil down to the valve side. I looked at the shaft and one oil hole is at the pushrod side and the other is at the bottom and I think the shaft will only go one way.I cant figure it out it used to oil them thanks for any suggestions jeff

I'm useing 15/40 with zinc aditive. I did get a few bent pushrods some how and changed them but I have at least 45-1 hr run time on it and maybe 1 or 2 rockers have just a bit of oil showing an 1/8 on rocker. On my old set it didnt take but a min or two and oil was going down them. even after driveing 20 blocks and back it was dryand the lubriplate I put on the tappets was still on top and should of been long gone I would think. Only if don from estas park colorado was alive this guy new straight eights and every one he rebuilt got better his 38 special had overdrive and would fly down the road getting 120 mph no problem. but thanks for reply and Iwill take it for a ride again and let you know what happens thanks Jeff

Thank you i understand this part as I have owned this car for 27 years and just cant figure out why it is not pushing any oil out the squirt hole it seems that if pushrods are oiling the shaft is filling up fine. The old rocker shaft was worn on the bottom side along with rockers about 15 thousands and gouged pretty good that is why I put on this other set as they were like new.My oil lines are bigger than 1/8 " witch is normal size line I'm sure. I was wondering if you could put a T in the tube that feeds the rocker and run a smaller line accross the top the length of shaft and drill small holes for each rocker so oil would get on them for sure. I dont think this would affect oil pressure enough to cause a problem. I have noticed that some of the feed lines under valve cover are different length that go into rocker shaft some go in long way others just enough to get in rocker stand.

I have a set of 38 century sidemounts complete with covers. There was a set on ebay a day or so ago just covers jeff

It is solid lifters rockershaft is off a 41 and adjusters also I put both plugs back in cleaned rockers with a instrument brush put it all in the homade dishwasher for a cycle. When driving it 12 years ago or more I remember it was not a lot of oil going to valve side but could see it slowly going. now it seems none are showing any. All the lines I blew out the valve lash is at .015 -.016 and is nice and quiet compared to what it used to sound like. all my push rods are solid ends and it oils like mad on those. maybe i should remove the filter after break in.I might need to go faster? the gage holds steady 45 at idle. Also what should the compression be I'm not sure what the pistons are but look like the old ones I removed and it is low like 75 lbs witch is plenty I think as it is not a racer. Thanks to all jeff

Good day all, I just finished rebuilding my engine and it is oiling the push rod side of the rockers good but none to the valves. I put some lube on them took it for a quick cruze about a mile or so one way and back took valve cover off and no oild down the rocker at all the inside of the valve cover is dry exept push rod side. I cleaned ot th rockers complete dissassembled cleaned out the junk and cant figure it out. gage reads 45-55 lbs. Also some of the pushrods do not spin when running any help would be great Jeff

do you have a pic of the old one? I take it this is the strap to help get in and out of the back seat? I might have some if this is what you need jeff

Anyone tell me why oil is not going down to the valves but is on pushrods. gage reads 50 lbs I cleaned rocker shaft rockers taking it all apart this is the 2nd set I have tried and both do same thing. engine just rebuilt thanks jeff

This is a bit different than a 41 but I might have one on a parts car if they are still on it. it would be a colorado car so should be in good shape and I would just sell the whole lock assembly as I only have a 41 and a 34 chevy and will never use it give me a few days and will get to storage and look thanks jeff

Hello, is it tear drop shape looking? I have a couple spares with the spring cover that lets you put key if you need one jeff
