will check the rocker bushings, but there
is only a few thousand miles on the rocker
assembly since the 1275 was built a few
years ago. They are high ratio (1.5)
rockers, but I don't think there is that
much wear on them yet. The very first
time I put oil in the engine, the oil
would fill the valve cover before it would
eventually drain down in the block. When
I built this engine I went kinda crazy
trying to lighten the valve train and
installed hollow pushrods. Besides, they
don't flex or bend. The problem is the
holes that the pushrods pass through were
enlarged, but apparently not large enough
for oil to easily pass by.</div>

<div>I am not pulling the
head. I may be wrong, but I
have to remove the head Stud
nuts on the pedastals to
lift the rocker assembly off
the engine to replace the
pushrods. I'm thinking the
other stud nuts have to be
loosened also to re-torque
the head properly. Is there
another way to replace the
pushrods without loosening
all the head nuts in
sequence?</div>
