Valve train oiling opinions

dusterMike said

I am going to be using the bolt kit recommended by trick flow. Not sure if they have the step in them or not . As of right now I'm leaning towards push rod oiling. In my mind it sounds better to have a separate oil supply for each rocker, compared to one for each rail.

I run the Trick Flow heads on an early Magnum block that has the drilling’s for rocker shaft oiling. Using the Trick Flow “bolt” kit as well. I can verify via actual inspection by pre-lubing as well as from actual running with the covers off that the oil delivery to all the rockers is plentiful.

If you do go with shaft oiling I would first verify that oil flows from those block passages, one can assume that the cam bearings were positioned correctly when installed, but I’d check to be sure
