| Restricted Oil Flow in valve train |
| By Scott - 10/10/2003 11:06:57 AM; IP 128.172.217.110 |
Does anyone have experience as to why I am getting restricted oil flow through the rocker arm assembly? I have a fresh rebuilt 390. Primed the oil pump etc ... I ran it for about 5 minutes and heard a tick in the valve train. I took off the valve cover and the head looked pretty dry. There is a little oil at the rocker arms but not very much. I took off the rocker arm assembly … spun the oil pump and had plenty off oil flow from the gallery in the head that feeds the rocker arm tower/pedestal. There seems to be very little room for oil flow in the tower once the bolt is in there. Is this normal? A mechanic mentioned putting a “shoulder bolt” in tower/pedestal that feeds the rocker arm shaft. Has anyone heard of this? The oil holes on the rocker arm shaft are facing down.
Thanks,
Scott
