Spitting oil through tailpipes.

yellow rose said

I'm not sure Ironmike is running pushrod oiling. IIRC I *THINK* he is using Hughes rockers that are shaft oiled.

If it's in the pipes but not on the plugs it's probably exhaust seals. Can you post a picture of a spark plug? I'd like to see your tune up.


Also, you should have someone follow you and not if it smokes on decel or while at a long idle.

Good to see you chime in, YR! Actually I AM running Hughes rockers, but our buddy Mike over at B3 Racing converted them along with T&D adjusters , to be a true pushrod oil top end. The original tubes my guy pressed in the boltholes were brass and leaked. Had to switch them to Aluminum and tig them in solid.

So now I'm running bal/ball rods with the standard .080 hole. I damn near ordered the. 029 restricted hole type but the dude at Smith Bros. advised against .

I'll shoot out to my shop in a minute and get a plug pic for ya. I sure hope it's only something to do with seals or flooding the head.
