Stainless, Bushed PRW Rocker Arms

This is why if you remember, @Oldmanmopar and his son came up with milling a flat on the head stud that goes into that particular hole where the oil feed is. They wanted to make SURE there was enough oil flow.....but got vilified for their idea. I thought it was a good one. The small amount they milled off would in no way have an effect on the stud's strength, yet all the forum experts showed up in full force to tell them how stupid their idea was. Yet, I JUST BET they don't have oiling problems to the rockers. Not saying that's your problem, but it's darn well worth double checking.

We have been doing this mod for several years and for several engines. We have no oiling issues ever since. This is only needed to be done when using studs.

One other thing is the lifter bores. If the bores are worn and the lifters are loose in the bores you will lose oil pressure . at that point pushrod oiling won't do a dam thing. My son watches some of the builders on this site and said its a dam shame some of you believe their bullshit. The engines that leave this shop never have any oiling issues. Part of blueprinting an engine is making sure all the machining is accurate.

After some of the idiots condemned my suggestion on oiling tips that we used that work very well I thought I would see where this thread went. And just like I thought some of the best suggestions are dammed by many that don't have a clue.

No oil flow? Parts wear real fast. 6 years of racing the indy headed 340 and no wear at all
