| Well Kevin, my rocker shafts do not have threaded holes from what I can remember......they certainly did not come with set-screw plugs. I am not sure if I can thread them or not as they were advertised as "hardened" steel. And to Bear, I am using standard cast iron Ford heads and the gaskets fit fine. I thought of chamfering the oil drainback holes on the heads as some of the headbolts do cut down on the oil drain back rate, but didn't do it. Interestingly, the smoke started after I switched from 10W30 to 20W50 which of course will drain back more slowly and might tend to flood the heads. I guess I will take a shaft out and see if I can tap it for set-screws. I doubt epoxy would survive the heat and brazing might be hard to clean up for smooth rocker action. Thanks guys for your input. Unusual technical questions so often seem unanswered here, but God forbid somebody brings up a FE history question...the thread goes on forever......chuckle! |
