I hope these are 2 or 3 simple questions. 1. Adjustable Rocker 273 Type: I keep hearing that the 3/8Ball plunger thread has an oil hole that will be covered if the thread showing below the arm is more than 2 turns! What if my 3/8 Ball plunger threads do NOT have any oil holes, does it matter if...

Jim, I went online and found the specs on diameters and dimensions and you were spot on correct with your observation, damn good eyes. Thanks

I have been very ill since I last year after I decided to change cams. I haven’t been able to work on the 340 since last October. Long story short, when I removed the valve covers I looked at the valve springs and I noticed they had a little bit of red spots on them so I assumed they were stock...
