[Fot] Supplimental oil feed to head

[Larry Young]

If you don't have enough oil getting to the rocker assembly, I would 
look for the cause. The rocker assembly is at the end of the line, if 
you have worn bearings, the oil will bleed off before it gets there.  
I'd guess that cam bearings are the most likely culprit.  When replacing 
them, make sure all the holes are oriented correctly. If your motor is 
health, you should have copious amounts of oil coming out of the little 
holes in the rockers, even at a brisk idle.  I think the outside line is 
sometimes a band aid for a weak motor.
