the dreaded oil feed pipe for the rocker arm shaft was found to be blocked unfortunately the damage has been done.

the rocker shafts are very deeply scored so much so i had to use a hammer to dismantle.

but biggest shocker was three of the supports that boltvthe shafts to the head are actually cracked almost right through!

so its scrap - just because of that horrible pipe.

does anyone remake or rebuiod these things?

Where are the cracks? Some of these have splits in them originally, to provide a firm grip to the rocker shafts.
