: P.J., what brand of roller rockers do you
: have? I assume by "holes
: down" you are referring to the
: rocker shaft and the oil holes in it?
: My recollection is the orientation of
: that shaft is set by the lock screw
: (philips head) in the rear pedestal
: that screws into the shaft, and thus
: the oil feed holes through the head
: into the rear pedestal and then the
: shaft are correctly aligned.
: Question - have you confirmed you have
: good oil flow to the rear pedestal,
: though either the block passage, or an
: auxiliary oil line from the main galley
: to the tap in the left rear of the
: head? Usually the concern with these
: aux lines is too much oil flow.
: Assume you confirmed the shaft was
: clear of obstructions by blowing air
: through it before you installed?
: Hardened shaft?

Hi Scott. When I bought these you told me they were Harlan Sharp rockers 1.45:1 ratio.
I have confirmed that there is good oil flow through the aux. line at the back of the engine. I primed the engine by drill prior to initial startup. You are correct about the Phillips screw that locates the shaft so I suspect that it was located in the proper orientation .. The shaft was Tialn coated and is very hard and therefore undamaged..
Is it possible that I could be experiencing coil bind with the valve springs?? Nothing seams abnormal and there is about .080 between the coils at full lift but I don't know what there should be for sure..Thanks P.J.
