Ok guys I spent the weekend cleaning up my rockers. Every one of the holes in the rockers was plugged so I ran a tiny pipe cleaner through them. Took a steel brush and gasoline to everything. Reassembled and they are moving nicely in the shafts, in my hands. I’ve yet to reinstall on the engine. I made a pump primer from a screwdriver . I removed the head bolt adjacent to the oil tube hole. Spun the heck out of the pump, and after awhile got oil coming up the the bolt hole and the oil tube hole. Yay! However, once I reinstalled the bolt I can’t get oil to the oil tube hole any more. How does this work? Should that head bolt have a passageway? It does not. I wonder if someone removed the head and mixed up the bolts? I snapped a pic just because, let’s see if it works. I still don’t know how #12 pushrod is supposed to be removed🧐. I appreciate all the response! J
