How do I disconnect the oil feed line? There's so much dirt that I can't see how it goes through the cylinder head. Do I just need to disconnect it at the fitting under the push rod cover?

The oil feed line is hand-pressed into a hole in the head. It should lift out of the hole fairly easily after you remove the shafts' bolts.

Thanks. That's kind of what it looked like but I wanted to be sure.
