What year 235, it makes a difference on what rocker connecter tube you need.

Could you explain? 1955-56 engines are full pressure already, unless you are talking about using 1959-62 rockers, which had the shafts pressurized.

| | | | | Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 15 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2012 Posts: 15 | the 235 does have lubrication tim is right i am planning on doing a full-flow oil filter conversion. the reason im asking about the rocker arm oiler is one of the rocker arm shafts was wore badly i also think it was installed wrong the oil hols were at the bottom i think they should be at the top but i was just thinking maybe i could get more oil to the rockers by making the rocker oiler sealed to the head just a thought and give the rockers more oil i did not do any work on this engine when i got it was the way i mentioned | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | ....i also think it was installed wrong the oil hols were at the bottom i think they should be at the top.... The holes are supposed to be on the bottom on the low pressure engines. I assume they didn't change it with the full pressure engines. With the holes on the bottom the rockers start getting oil sooner than they would if they had to wait for the shafts to fill.
