Final follow up on my top end oiling insufficiency. All good now! Rocket hooked me up with the correct “banannaized” shafts AND I corrected the right passenger side orientation of the notch. And now I can see oil coming from all the rockers. My originals were clear (all orifices and shafts) so...

Yes that’s one of the problems we identified from this build. I have a new set from Rocket and they will be installed correctly. Thanks

Socket fixture on a grinder or just put it on a Bridgeport?

looks spot faced to me… haven’t checked them all out yet.

Im just payin the cards I was dealt….btw those were cup style posted not ball.

PRW is possibly only selling these per unit as replacements. Looks like this 273 set up is getting hard to use.

Thank you. So I just learned that these will not fit. Went to PRW website. These are 7/16-20 for Aluminum rockers and Mopar Steel rockers use is 3/8-24 and I confirmed this by measuring mine. I’ll have to call them to see if they make the 3/8-24. Jegs site didn’t even out they type of thread...

I don’t know the history on this build. This is what I found on the motor when I opened it.

Lastly I noticed what I thought was a stress fracture (along the casting line) from one of those holes but under magnification it was just a casting line with no fracture. So I am using it even though the hole is partially blown.

If so I believe (I could be wrong) these are post processing holes that were used as a pilot hole to drill out the holes in the rockers. I noticed that mine have different sizes as shown. Mine were obviously mixed and matched up as I have both locking and interference ball adj screws.

Piss holes? Do you mean these?

I knew A guy once whose dog crapped on the carpet all the time. Every time he did the owner rubbed his face in it. But the dog kept shitting on the carpet anyway. Needless to say his carpet was really fuggly….. just sayin…

My bad I didn’t see that in your response it wasn’t clear to me. “There are two holes in the rockers. The lower hole on the backside of the rocker squirts oil in to the pushrod cup.”

Thanks Pierre! Yes I am doing this methodically. The shafts look great. I removed the caps and cleaned them throughly in kerosene with bore brushes. Used fine sandpaper as well. The caps didn’t fit but I found some 5/8 freeze plugs that did Dorman555-011 that right. Thanks so much for your help...

Welp mine wasn’t! Thats the fing point. I wasn’t getting crapola out of my top end when hand priming at 60psi. SOMETHING was wrong and I needed to understand what. I was in a debugging mode trying to understand how the system worked.
