Just because your pushrods don't have
oil passages in them doesn't mean you have a solid lifter cam. FE's don't
oil through the pushrods like other motors. I would be very concerned if your pushrods DID have
oil passages. You need to remove one of your lifters and see what kind it is. If it's a shell type lifter, you should be able to see without removing the lifter. Considering you already have broken rocker arms and bent pushrods, it may be a good idea to remove and inspect the lifters anyhow. I have a set of rocker shaft end supports from Precision Oil Pumps that I'm going to use in my 428. Unfortunately I'm still buying parts and the motor's not complete yet. When I bought my heads from Keith Craft, he said he recommended using rocker shaft end supports on ALL applications, no matter how mild.
