    400 rockers lever oilers

    How does oil get to the valve spring side? The lifters are getting plenty of oil from the journals and canals on top of the levers. On the spring side it"s stays dry. Should I run it longer or are there journals in the valve side of the lever that may be clogged that I can"t see? Thanks ...Tim

    In my first post on this topic I stated that the piston was twisted. I now realize that I should have stated that the piston looks to be turned by the looks of the position of the top cast. Sorry for any confusion. Good thing I"m a Truck mechanic and not an author. ...Tim
