- Hi all-Just did a valve adjustment and out of curiosity decided to start the car with the valve cover off to check my work. What I didn't expect is the lack of oil squirting all over the place. The o

- It is supposed to be messy. How's your oil pressure? If you don't have an auxiliary oil feed line for the cylinder head you might want to install one before you need a new rocker shaft. -Erik -- Erik

- Mitch : IMO, that is reasonably normal for a TR, as long as the oil (eventually) oozes from all the rockers. The engine design deliberately 'meters' the rocker shaft oil through the rear cam bearing

- You should get more than an ooze of oil but it won't throw oil all over the place. A lot of the early TR mech's used to put a couple of rags on each side of the engine and adjust the valves with the

- FWIW, I tried this years ago on the TR3 (as you say, out of curiosity). Ever see the scene in the movie "Giant" when James Dean's oil well comes in? -- it was kinda like that. I'll be interested in o

- As with every story, there are two sides... Good advice from Randall on the oiling situation...it is the action of the rockers et al that 'splatters' the oil...but I don't buy the Pennzoil put down..

- Indeed, if it works for you, go with it ! I had some specific bad experiences with Pennzoil, but that was 30 years ago, it's entirely possible, even likely, it's gotten better since then. You'll pard

- I have no interest in this one way or another, but I find it hard to believe that Pennzoil ACTUALLY uses Pennsylvania crude. I may be wrong, but I'm willing to be educated. Also, with the appearance
