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>
