A 235 I have came to me with an "overhead oiler to compensate for the sludged up factory passage. It was a copper tube running from the oil pressure sender fitting up over the valve cover to the once-plugged hole at the center of the head above the spark plugs. How well this worked I can't say as the rocker shaft was pretty trashed by the time I got it but there was oil getting to the rockers.
