Hey I am new to this site and have been following your comments on Jessel. First of all thanks very much for the great pictures on installing the Jessel rockers.

I was lost after talking to Indy, as said before they aren't much help.


I have a couple of questions if you guys could help I would appreciate it.

1) I am going to have push rod oiling with bushed lifter bores. Anyone else running the same and if so is there any concerns? Jessel said it should be okay but I forgot to mention that the lifter bores were bushed (only a 0.060" feed hole)

2) Does anyone have any instructions or pictures on a spray bar install.

The biggest issue with pushrod oiling when using bushed lifter bores is that you need to drill the bushing in the correct location so it will provide oil to your lifter during full travel.

That is easier said than done since nobody publishes the specs for this stuff. You basically have to buy a certain brand of lifter and then have the bushings drilled for that brand. And then you have to stick with the brand of lifter for the life of the motor since other lifters will have their oil hole in a different location.

I can post a picture of the spray bar if someone doesn't beat me to it. It is just a standard Indy valve cover with a tube inside that has some small holes drilled in it. A #3 AN fitting feeds the oil into the tube from outside the valve cover.

Thanks for the quick response. The pictures of the spray bars would be great! I got my kit from Indy.

If the oil feed hole is in the right location when the valve is closed but not in lift is that a problem?

I actually have to put it together to check and see where things line up.

Well if it was me I'd want oil pressure to the pushrod full time but maybe you'll be okay if it cuts off just at full lift. I've never run a motor that way but it might work. If it doesn't you'll have to pull it all apart to fix it though.

Hey andy any luck on the spray bar pictures?

Here´s my Indy spray bar covers

Thanks for the picture. What does the other side look like? Do you run a baffle under your breather?

Very Nice looking Coronet by the way.
