41specialman Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DaveCorbin Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Dear Jeff:Are you sure you've put the bolts for the rocker arm stands in right? The front rocker arm stand bolt is different from the others, as it has a smaller diameter shank so the oil flows up around the bolt into the shaft. Flow sequence is into the head, up the side of the bolt, into the front rocker arm stand, into the interior of the rocker arm shaft, into the rocker arms. It's very easy to re-assemble things wrong.Regards, Dave Corbin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 This is interesting Dave...they must have changed this in later years, maybe with the hydraulic lifters...mine feeds through an oil line into the front stand I believe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
