One end threads into a fitting just above the rear camshaft bearing. The other threads into a fitting right underneath the supply tube that curves over the rocker shaft. Mine uses a head bolt with a hollow center so the oil can pass through.

I am gona guess the oil comes into the head bolt at #2 torq position and travels up thru the bolt hole to a hole near the top of the head and over to the hole where the tube goes up to the rocker assy. Anyway when it went back together there was oil coming out the rocker assy. I was happy. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 367 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2009 Posts: 367 | Yes Thank you.
