I'm searching for clarification. I have a 1960 235 with the 848 heads. There was a terrible mess under the valve cover (rat's nest) and so I've started a cleaning operation. When in there I found that no oil was getting to the top of the head. I pulled the rockers and rocker shaft to expose more area to clean and noticed a head bolt to be sticking out and not flush with the surface and I have no idea why. Could it be the infamous drilled head bolt and if so would it be sticking up like that as an adjustment to the oil flowing through it? Also, the oil tube that supplies oil to the rocker shaft seems to have a crimped end on it and I'm not sure if that is stock or if someone before me altered it.
I have posted pictures here:

Thanks,
Nick
