Hello Norman,
I recall that you mentioned a couple of years ago that some rocker arm
bushings are being found with the groove machined in a full 360 degrees
manner. Those bushings are still showing up and may be overlooked by the
machinist or shop doing the work. I had my rocker shaft replaced and arms
rebushed by a shop in El Cajon and the person doing the work apparently wasn't
aware that a bushing made that way will result in a spurt of oil several feet
high out of the top of the rocker!!
This isn't a failure on the road but it can cause a lot of oil feed back into
the breather or down the valve guides with eventually much smoke and much
consternation and trouble shooting on the part of someone who just had the
rockers and shaft rebuilt before heading out for a long trip.
Thanks for your always useful and money saving tips. I look forward to you
tech session at the conclave.
