Hi Moses Stock oil pump and pressure after warm up about 45 at 2500 rpm and 25 at ideal and 65 to 70 when cold. I will try some shim stock as I have some laying around. Thank you Tim

Thank you moses I had the same thoughts with shim stock and tubing.I am wondering if some one had done this earlier in this engines life and used some kind of soft material and when the machine shop boiled the head it just turned it into a solid mass that was the source of my original plug leading to the right head not oiling (the one I drilled out).I would just as soon not pull the engine out and all apart to see what I can find if any thing,but I can it is just a toy and not a daily driver, I'm just not sure what I would find. What would you do ?

Thank you Moses The rocker arm assembly is correct as I had them send me a new one and gave them those same measurements.I put it on and had the same problem.So I took the rocker arm assembly off both heads and spun the motor with a remote start switch and watched the oil flow in both of the supply ports to the rocker arm shaft pedestals.The right head (the one that had been over oiling) has 5 times more oil coming out it actually clears the head and streams onto the header while the left just gently flows out of port.I can physically put a rod down both of the heads oiling ports the same depth and meet no restriction. This engine has about 125 miles on it after complete rebuild but has set for 8 years.What do you think.Would blowing compressed any thing through it help ? Dos it oil through a cam bearing that spun a little. Thanks Tim

Hi Moses Do you know what the clearance is between the rocker arm and rocker arm shaft is supposed to be on a 225 dauntless v6.As mentioned above this reman rocker arm assembly I got just flows oil out around the rocker arms and stacks up on top of the valve stems,everything else is as it should be. Tim

Thank you Moses How do I find the explanation for oil stacking, I have seen the 2 pages you sent me I have also read the a very brief warning that tells you how to place the notch on the shaft so this will not happen, pretty straight forward stuff.I am still trying to locate a oil flow diagram that shows if the oil flow through the rocker shaft is supposed to return through the back rocker pedestal head hole or if that hole just dead ends in the block.

Moses I have a oiling question also 1967 225 I had no oil to right head rocker arm shaft, Found head oil supply hole plugged with soft material so I took head off and ran a drill bit of the same size as the hole ( no metal shavings ) through it reinstalled the head along with new rocker arm assembly ( rockers,pedestals.shaft ). Now head over oils and oil runs down the valve stems into the cylinders and that side smokes.I have a few questions to ask if I may.1.) The rocker shaft oils through the front pedestal is the oil ment to return to the crank case through the back pedestal as it also has a hole in the head at the pedestal base this would take some of the pressure away from the shaft so not all the oil comes out of the rocker arms.2.) Did I drill through some kind of soft restricting orifice in the head oiling hole.3.) Is the only oil return back to the crank case from the head the 2 oil pathways at front and the back of the head. 4.)I have the notch in the rocker shaft facing the front ( fan ) on the right head and to the rear (fire wall ) on the left head.could the bolt on the front pedestal be letting to much oil around it. With the valve covers off there is way way more oil going to the right head then the left.5.) what is the reason the notch has to be in the correct position as it looks like it the same either way.
