Re: [T3] Dumb question of the day


Not so dumb if you've never had the valve train apart or run the thing
without a rocker cover on.  The lifter at the camshaft end of the
train has a hole in the side of it that conducts oil from the
pressurized gallery in the case up the hollow pushrod to the rocker
arm.  The  pushrod cup on the end of the stock arm has a hole drilled
in it that intersects with another one that goes the length of the arm
to the rocker arm pivot.  Not a lot of oil is necessary, but there's
enough flying around that it'll get you coated in a short time if you
leave a rocker cover off.  Valve stems make do with what's flying
around.
