During the engine rebuild this past summer I found that the over-sized springs in our engine were probably to blame for the excessive wear. I now have standard springs installed and no external oil feed. The oil pressure is good and there is lube reaching the rockers. I will have to let you know in another 20 years how much wear has occurred without the external feed.
