This will be a small 308R Comp cams roller in my 493 for the street. It is .575" lift and 262 duration @ .050". Are there any drawbacks to pushrod oiling? Why aren't more companies making them? Is it not necessary? I was also going to groove the #4 journal for full oiling to the rockers. Any help or oppinions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I run PR oiling in my W-9 SB and no problems at all... if you look at the new hemi it has PR oiling so there are PLENTY of engines that do EDIT Make sure your rockers can go that way... a hole in the adjuster so it oils the rest of the rocker and spring Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 06/21/11 06:17 PM.
