I spoke with T&D this morning and they said that i could run both if i wanted, as long as i used restrictors, but one or the other was the norm.
I checked the system after blocking off the shaft oiling hole in the heads and it does
oil through the pushrods. I set my pushrods up so that the lock nut and the adjuster nut are at the same height... this just so happens to be the correct spot that you refer to-1 turn down from the starting point and then 1 more turn for preload adjustment as per the instructions on their webpage.
I did discover something else while messing with all of this. Apparently someone, will remain unmentioned for now, drilled out the stud holes on number 3 and 6 too far...these are the rocker stud holes where the
oil feed holes are for the shaft system. I was cleaning out the threads in these holes with a q tip and accidently pressed right through into the number 6 intake runner. Luckily, the rockers were off and the valves were closed, so i removed the carb and stuck a long tube that I attached to my vacuum and sucked out the small aluminum flakes that once made up the bottom of the stud hole/top of the intake runner on number 3 and 6. It appears that
oil was running down the threads and dripping into the intake runner and ending up in the combustion chamber. I was wondering why those two plugs always had a bit of oil on the threads.
Any suggestions on what product to use to seal those two studs to prevent oil from leaking into the intake runner and to prevent a possible vacuum leak?
Thanks!
