Thanks to all who told me that my broken oil line is the rocker arm
shaft oil line that goes thru the head and down to the oil pump. I have
not been able to locate one at the local junkyards or parts places. Is
there anybody out there that would be willing to pull one off an old 235
for me. I would pay whatever is fair.

Tom,
That is probably the rocker arm shaft oil line which should be attached to
the piece into which the two rocker arm shafts slip into. Go to a wrecking
yard and pull one. Up to around '58, oil gets to that point via a port in
the rear cam bearing journal and a line which you should see once you pull
the push rod cover.
Mike

I just pulled the valve cover off of my new (old) 55 2cd 235 engine.
There is a 3-4 inch piece of tubing laying in with the rocker arms. It
looks like it broke off a piece that is attached to the rocker arm
assembly...obviously some kind of oiler. My question is...is there
someone who sells a replacement part or has anyone ever rebuilt this
part..and just what is it called?
Has anybody had a similar problem?
Thanks in advance,
