When using these Barton Hemi Rockers and running pushrod oiling
Do you need any extra oiling to the rockers or is that enough?
Also would you bush the lifter bores on a aluminum block?

I'd rather not have to deal with them at any level
They had my motor on an engine stand for 7 months
While they had $17,000 of my money

Push rod oiling is enough, provided the rockers you have are drilled for through oiling and have oiling adjusters in them. Test them ALL with an air hose when you know about where the adjuster will wind up with proper lash. The groove in the adjuster oils best at about two turns in from full out. Occasionally TD forgets to cut the groove behind the bearings that allow oil to pass though the body to the tip. That's why you should test them all.

If you have wide main, and rod clearance with a main priority oiling block the front lifter pairs left, and right will benefit from a very small slot cut in the tappets connecting the oil hole to the oil band. At idle, with a vacuum pump, they'll be no oil up there on those cylinders without it.

I've got Barton's t&d rockers on my 572 Hemi bushed bores and tapped 1/8" NPt off the lifter galleys. Cast iron mega block. No problems with oiling.
