Seems like rocker shaft connector oilers are hot in the "Stovebolt" news lately. It also seems as though they are prone to breakage for reasons not entirely evident.
Here is what I did with mine (on a 1958 235):

[img]http://www.surfacezero.com/g503/data/3764/medium/IMG_6753.JPG[/img]Cleaned up a little...you can see the other crack a little better
