Reworking the 273 Adjustable Rockers

I did not read thru the last couple of replies (but I am going to tomorrow) as I am spent & fixin to hit the hay in about 5 minutes but I did check my shafts today & yeah there is another hole(s) besides the one(s) on the bottom with the groove & it is offset 63 degrees from that hole(s) (to the valve side iirc). EDIT I could cap the (offset) holes in the shaft with JBweld & redrill them inline with the 1/8" drilled hole in the rocker on the valve side (the drill bit photo). clocked for when the spring is closed/relaxed. Should I go ahead? this is a 6K+ circle track 360. thank you for your time. PS should the redrilled in the shaft hole (if you recommend I redrill) be 1/8 also?


Is the notch on the end of the rocker shaft on the drivers side of the motor at the front and down? Then is your notch on the passenger side at the rear and down?

Do Not use JB weld inside your motor. IF you wanted to plug the holes in the shaft do like Yellow Rose said and pound a piece of lead shot into the hole. (I use lead shot in my carbs to restrict passages sometimes.)
Don't drill anything just yet. We are going to talk about oil volume in my next post.
