That is what i thought. I am getting an excessive amount of
oil to the top of the motor with just a low rpm drill when priming. The rockers did not come with any instructions, so i just installed them and figured i was good to go. However, while i was readjusting the valves, i noticed that the adjustment nuts on the t&D rockers had holes in the socket where the pushrod seats. I unscrewed one and found that there are also two holes in the threaded portion to allow the
oil to transfer to another hole in the rocker. Im going to plug the holes in the e brock heads and see how much
oil flows from the pushrods. Im assuming i need to at least install restrictors and since the rockers are roller bearing and i have a hydraulic roller cam, im going to be that .060 restrictors might be best.
I have read how this can cause oil consumption due to the oil filling up to above the valve seals, allowing oil to seep past the seals and into the cylinders. Obviously the pan can be pumped below a desirable level as well. Any symptoms that this would cause besides smoke at start up and eventually damaging the crank bearings from lack of oil in the pan?
