I noticed oil did not appear to be lubricating the rocker arms.
Should I not see oil dripping off of the rocker assembly?
I unscrewed the feed tube brass fitting then the rocker assembly and checked the curved oil tube and it was clear. I cranked the engine and did not see any oil come out.
The brass fitting hex is a bit chewed and I plan on putting on a new one. Also the upper end of the oil feed tube is a bit kinked and crooked enough to no be able to get a machinist pick very far to check if the oil tube is bent enough to be blocked.
It would appear that a previous mechanic was to lazy to take off 4 bolts and 2 threaded studs to just lift the rocker arm shaft off to avoid damage.
I noticed a push rod is very loose. Enough to make me think it is bent.
Any way as I get back on the oil feed tube is where is the other end connected to?
When I remove the valve lifter cover on the side of the engine will the other end of the oil line be visible and will there be a fitting allowing removal of the oil line?
