Rocker oiling

Yes. But I do not press the tube in. I don’t know why Chrysler thinks it needs a press fit.

I use a slip fit. Once you peen the tube it can’t come out or leak.

I mean it can’t rattle around in there like socks on a rooster but a .003-.005 slip fit makes tubing the block a bunch easier.

Yeah, I don't think I'd want to have a true press fit on a 10-12" piece of soft copper tube that has to be hammered all the way in. It would collapse before you got an inch or two in, even with a mirror finish on the bore of the hole. Even if it was line on line it would be a ***** because a drilled or even reamed hole is anything but smooth.
