Not all rockers are created equal1986 rocker arm side by side to an earlier production rocker casting. The earlier one seems to be beefier than the 86 which by the way broke as I was tightening adjuster. All the machined dimensions are however the same, except for one minor but serious difference. Notice in the photos how the oiler hole is 3 times larger on the early 4 casting, and the tiny oiling hole on the later 6 casting. I'm wondering if I use this mismatch of rockers if the one with the larger oil hole will hemorrhage more oil and starve the others being that they all feed from the same oil tube I think? I know it's probably nothing to worry about but thought I would run it by a couple of the experts here. Also just for shits I'm going to weigh them out and see how much weight difference there is because the early beefier one just feels heavier.
DRP If an oil mod is installed, there is enough oil feeding the heads that all of the orifice and passage sizes are not as critical. |
