440 with 440 source roller rockers.

Is it normal for a lack of oil "sling" to the valvetrain with these rockers???

I inspected my rockers/valves last spring to
find that not much oil had been kicked around
the valve cover. Even the rockers were fairly
clean.
Is this just because aluminum roller rockers do
not sling like the factory stamped ones.

There will not be puddles of oil on top of the rockers like the old bathtub stamped rockers but you should have a decent amount of oil around the areas that do not drain back well. Like on the corners on the heads. You will want good oil flow up there.

Yes, that is the only sign of oil in the head
(undrained corners) I will continue to monitor
as the 1st real road-driven season progresses.

I'm open to all comments, Thanks

Keep an eye on it, as long as your getting oil up there you should be fine. The roller rockers do not need splash oiling as they are designed to oil the shaft and usually have oiling slots for the tips so the oil stays under control better.
