IIRC, you mentioned you were leaving the rocker adjusters as they were when you removed the assemblies. That will complicate your reinstallation as the rocker assemblies aren't going to rest in the proper spots on the head with the lifters/pushrods trying to open the valves in conjunction with where the cam lobes are when disassembled. That's going to make you need to use the mounting studs to draw down the rocker assemblies to sit properly, which can also coincidentally do damage to your oiler feed tube.
Not sure I understand this.
Why won't the rocker assemblies rest in the proper spot? How will the oil tube be damaged?
