Im having trouble getting oil to the valve tip's, even with a new rocker shaft,new bushing's and 50 psi. oil pressure. Im told I should not have over 35psi. Pressure is so high it blowing past seal on oil filter. (spin on) [Reply]   [No Email]

Both of them have 2 squirt holes- 1 for the adjusting ball to pushrod cup and another for the rocker arm to valve stem. There is an internal groove in the center of the rocker arm. The squirt hole for the adjusting ball to pushrod cup intersects this groove. The squirt hole for the rocker arm to valve stem does not intersect this groove. I hope this helps you.

Where can you get that valve adjustment tool that is pictured in the 600 series Shop Manual?. A while ago I saw one in the Snap-on catalog. I don't think they have it anymore. Thank you for any help. Great New Year to Everyone. [Reply]  [No Email]

Make sure you do not have an oil o-ring sticking in the base because that will cause that and if you do not then your oil pump relief valve maybe sticking or set to high either one of those will cause that problem [Reply]  [No Email]

Does the original rocker have a groove or channel connecting the center to the oil hole? [Reply]  [No Email]
