Per my post a couple weeks ago regarding my '54 235 with no oil getting to the rocker assembly:

Just heard from the machine shop, and it turns out that the hole in the cam bearing was out of alignment by about an 1/8". Don't see how it could have been put in wrong so we guess it might have spun. Who knows? No other damage to push rods or valves, so it's hard to imagine that the two or three hundred miles it was driven since rebuild that there was never any oil getting upstairs.

Anyway, it'll all go back together, we'll test the oil pump thoroughly, and then try again.


Seek results, not perfection. Remember this is a truck, not a Rolex watch.
