I need to order a new rocker for my 235(one of the rockers is a low pressure rocker with the internal groove lined up with the hole). When I adjusted the valves, it would shoot an 8 inch geyser of oil, over the side of the engine.

Valve image #1
Valve image #2

Looking at Jim Carter's website, there is left intake, left exhaust, right intake and right exhaust. I don't know which one mine needs.

The rocker in question is the third one from the firewall end.

Any help?

It's an intake rocker. I'm not sure about right or left, it depends on which way you look at it. I'm going to guess "left", but that's a 50-50 chance of being wrong. The valve arrangement starts with an exhaust valve at each end, then they go in pairs.

X-I-I-X-X-I-I-X-X-I-I-X Count from either front or rear, the line-up is the same. The valves that are angled are exhaust, and the ones that are almost straight up and down are intake.

That would be called a right hand intake rocker.
If you can't find one I can help you out.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!
