Default Re: Valve train oiling

Just wanted to circle back on this issue if anybody is interested. After removing and cleaning the valve trains very well, I decided to have a detailed look at the overhaul manual (which is well worth downloading if you haven't already). It seems the special bolt that allows oil up into the tube came in two different lengths 2-3/4 or 2-7/8. The shorter bolt requires one flat washer and the longer bolt requires two. I have the longer bolts which had only 1 washer when I pulled them apart. I added the second washer and voila' - she's oiling very well now.

Figured I'd post this just in case there is anybody else having the same issue.

Cheers,
