[Healeys] Venting oil through rear air filter

[Ron Mitchell]

Just go to this URL and read the instructions on turning the shaft 180
degrees.  
Do this at your own risk.  I'm not responsible for any failures. 
I'm just the 
messenger.  He did it and it apparently works.

You cannot rotate the rocker shaft 180 degrees. There is a special
bolt that
goes through the banjo on the oil feed line and down into a hole in
the shaft.
This is how the oil gets into the shaft that feeds the rockers. You
cannot
change the rotation of the shaft without welding up the hole on the one
side
and drilling a hew hole in the other. Just get a new shaft and re-bush
the
rockers.
