What makes you think that more exhaust is coming out one side than the
other? I have Fenton headers and they look pretty equal to me. Are
the mufflers both the same age and type? Is there more bend in one
exhaust pipe than the other?
If you do not see oil coming out of the rocker arm oiler you better take
off the side cover on the push rods and check the small oil line to see
if it is plugged up. When I started my 235 for the first time after a
rebuild I had the same no oil problem. That line on mine was completely
blocked with crud. It is fairly easy to replace.
You can check this out without running the engine by putting a screw
driver bit in an electric drill and putting it down into where the
distributor drive is. You can get the oil pump turning fast enough so
that you can check if oil is going through the line up to the rocker arm
without getting your garage and truck covered with oil at the same time.

On Sunday, the ole' 235 breathed new life after nearly 7 years of futzing
around with her. She ran great, but I have one question. I have a dual
offey and fentons on her and the exhaust seemed to come out more on one
side vs. the other. Also, while I have full (and instant) oil pressure,
no oil is coming out of the small holes at the top of the rockers. Any
suggestions?
