ive searched till i cant see . which way should the holes on a 235 rocker go .up or down ?seems as if they should face up . but i dont get paid to think! or paid period for that matter . thanks to the generosity of others
http://1954advance-design.com/Web images/1958-60-rocker-oil/1960-rocker-arm-lubrication.html See if any this helps
i am . how dos the oil get thru the rocker if the oil is on the other side . ?also there appears to be a bump inside the rockers inside the bottom of the bore opposite the oil hole .is it made that way or is there a issue . more than one like that
Oil coming in at the bottom keeps a film of oil where the most pressure is applied to the shaft by the rocker.
i added pix of the inside of rocker .should i file these smooth or is that how it is made for some reason
thnx for the link anthony . i had looked at it already . appears to have the holes down ,but doesnt say that i read . i just dont see how the oil could get thru the little hole in the rocker with all the oil shooting out the bottom .and it isnt on mine ! maybe i need new rockers !
you could say that ! and im really not sure if im coming or going . 2 steps forward , three steps back .the bump on the the inside of the rockers in the pix is real hard to wrap my head around ,as several have nearly the same spot .could just file them smooth but i guess they are trash . i will see today if the shafts on the orig. 216 are better than what i have now . i believe they might interchange ? but i guess thats all . another good link fast car . still no mention of the orientation of the holes but once again it appears they may be down in the illustration . i should have had a v-8 !!!! i guess its never to late to make a course adjustment !
well im torn between putting one up and one down . at least one will be right . or, drilling a hole on the other side . to much oils gotta be better than not enough . didnt appear i was getting good oil to all the rockers . but that could be from the worn parts !
