Are those HI TECH ROCKER STANDS in this picture??? If so the owner needs to change out the split lock washers that are under the shaft hold down bolts. If you dont you will be low on oil pressure. I was checking my oil pressure with the valve cover off and when I hit the drill motor to build pressure, oil shot out from between the bolt and the stand. What was happening was oil was coming out of the shaft...going through the split lock washer and past the bolt. I changed over to a standard washer and all is good.




Hello Troy,
This is my engine, and the stands are Hi-Tech. I appreciate the "heads up". I wanted to be sure, so I
pulled a bolt to check and the washers are a black, flat ground, apparently hardened washer, so I guess they changed or updated the hardware. I can see where the split type would be a problem.
