1) The "oil connector" tube on my '56 235 is broken off at the bend on top, past the rocker shafts (the rockers still get oil). Can I plug this "overflow" end to increase oil flow to the rockers like they did with '59 235's or should I replace it? Oil flow and pressure are good with no clogged passages.
2) The rocker shafts have a small intentional flat side machined on them over their entire length. Should this be on the top or the bottom? I can't tell from the service manual.
By the way, I'm restoring a '54 3100 and I couldn't do it without all of the great advice that I've found in these forums.
