Sounds exactly like you’re blowing through the converter. What fluid was in the trans? You could try hygard and see if it tightens up the converter if you just had atf in it.

Hell ya brother! That car is awesome!

Go a little further north up highway 1 to Big Sur if you haven’t been.

Those are 273 adjustable iron rockers. That’s a good rocker and about perfect for your application. There are two oil holes in them and you want to run a wire through each one to make sure they’re clear. Then do all the holes in the shaft.

Yes

The shark tooth grille will seal the deal. 9.999 here you come!!!

And hope the camshaft survives also. :lol:

It was just a suggestion, not a necessity. If after 2 minutes of priming with the oil timing lined up on a dry engine, you get no oil, there is definitely something wrong. If you only ran the drill for 10-15 seconds you might wonder “did I run it long enough to fill an empty rocker shaft?”

Yup, so start by finding TDC compression number one, then roll the motor over forward 380 degrees.

Find TDC compression number one. Then roll the motor backwards 90 degrees.

And even if he gets the rocker shafts off, he still has to find the correct oil timing before oil will come up through the head.

From the front of the engine counting backwards.

Have you tried setting the crank at the positions noted above in post 21? As said by others, some aftermarket cams are drilled differently but MOST are not. Set the crank at 90 degrees BTDC on number 1 compression, run drill for 2 minutes. Passenger side should oil. Rotate crank to 20 degrees...

That is exactly the answer I was hoping you wouldn’t give.
