I am making sleeves for my 5/16 bolts for Harland sharp rocker arms.I am using fairly light spring so I thought this will be the simple way to go.I made the sleeves out of 3/8 brake line and I cut them just below the top of the rocker shaft,look ok?

A few question for you... first... how is the oil gonna
get in the shafts.. next whats the spring pressure open..
I did this years ago waiting on my W2 heads... with
the springs I had it didnt last 1 night.. the bolts broke...
to be honest its easier to drill and tap the heads and
its better

I am using standard oiling.The sleeve doesn't totally fill the hole where the oil comes up.The spring pressure will be 380 lbs open.I don't have a problem tapping the heads but I would also have to drill out my MP hold downs and mill the countersunk part and I don't really have the equipment for that.

just me but I would drill and tap the heads and use studs instead of bolts
