Well from one problem to the next!
I have a 1960 C10 with an original 235 6 banger. I was going to adjust the valves when I noticed the rockers were not getting enough oil.
I pulled the little plug that is on the side in the middle of the head right below the valve cover level. I tried cranking the engine with the coil plug removed to find no oil coming from the plug. Then I decided to re- connect the coil and start the engine only to find a trace of oil coming out of the hole.
Shouldn't there be more oil coming out?
How does the oil travel up to this hole and/or rockers? I noticed there is a head bolt in the same spot on the inside of the value cover. Is this where the oil travels up?
FYI.. The engine has 110,000 miles and yes, it shows. If I can get the oil up to the rockers, I plan to clean out the entire rocker bar.
Thanks.. Russ
