New Small Block Stroker Engine Noise

you may have some oil up top, but it might not be enough... i would swap out a factory bolt for the stud where the oil comes up as an experiment.

Moper, it was tight between the stud and rocker shaft, not a lot of room for oil to get up there. I do have the old engine complete I could take the bolt off of it and give it a try. I could also clearance the stud some to allow more oil to come up.
