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 dir="ltr">Mike MacLean<br clear="none"></div> <br clear="none"><div class="yiv1866794657qtdSeparateBR"><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div class="yiv1866794657yahoo_quoted" style="display:block;"> <div style="font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;font-size:16px;"> <div style="font-family:HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Saturday, November 28, 2015 10:01 AM, Peter Caldwell <<a rel="nofollow" shape="rect" ymailto="mailto:peter@nosimport.com" target="_blank" href="mailto:peter@nosimport.com">peter@nosimport.com</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></font></div> <blockquote style="border-left:2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);margin-left:5px;margin-top:5px;padding-left:5px;"> <br clear="none"><br clear="none"> <div class="yiv1866794657y_msg_container"><div id="yiv1866794657"><div>
And while loose, you can wiggle the rockers to feel if maybe those
bushings are worn, which can be another reason the head gets flooded
