The rocker arm oil connector has come it. I set the valve clearances this am and hope to get this installed with a new valve cover gasket this Saturday. Hopefully the oil issue is resolved. The compression has definitely increased after letting some MMO sit in the cylinders.
In adjusting the valves in noticed that some of the lock nuts were on top of the rockers while others were under. None of the pushrods look bent... is there some other reason the engine may be set up this way? worn valves? bent rocker arms?
