Started toying with the idea of adding some lubrication to the pushrod end of the rockers.
Using some 1/4" OD tube and sweat on fittings I built a manifold that will pull oil from around the rocker shaft mounting bolt and drip over the rocker end.
I ordered some sweat on banjo fittitings, but they only come in 3/16". I drilled them to 1/4" and sweat everything together with 430* silver solder.
I clamped an air hose on plugged the holes to test for leaks under water..
Still need to drill the orifice oils for each rocker, then I will clean the inside and cap the ends. I will need to turn the shank of the bolt down a touch to allow oil to flow into the banjo. I will also be adding support brackets on the other two bolts...
I am using a high volume oil pump, so I should have more than enough flow without giving up any oil pressure. I also plan to safety wire the fittings and tubes just incase something fatigues and breaks.
I need to do a little math to figure out what size holes to put over each rocker. Im thinking .0125" should be good. The oil may or or may not even make it into the socket though....but I suppose extra oil showering on the rockers cant hurt anything.lol
