[Fot] Supplimental oil feed to head

[fubog1 at aol.com]

Yeah whatever works... but... that's way too big. It sounds like you 
have some wear issues. You'll also see a drop in oil pressure at low 
revs if it's bleeding that much oil off to the top.

When I discovered the external oil port on the left rear of the TR/GT-6
heads that feed into the rocker assembly, I gathered about $2.00 worth 
of pieces
 from the hardware store and connected that opening to the oil galley 
with 1/4"
copper tube. It provided the rear half of the rocker shaft with more 
oil than it
needed, the front half with less than I wanted to see, but more than it 
had been
getting. I considered trying to feed both ends of the shaft to balance 
that, but
never got that far.

  I have very good evidence that my
  head is lacking sufficient oil supply. 
  The shaft on #1 rocker has gouges about 1/16” deep after 35,000
  miles.  Can one of you email me a
   picture of where you attached a supplemental oil feed line to your 
head?  Has anyone ever tried opening up that
   pathetic oil passage that the head/rocker pedestal interface has. 
=C
2Has anyone tried tapping the end cap of
  the rocker shaft and connecting an oil line
  directly?
   
  Thanks,
