The pushrod cup oil hole should intersect the oil channel like this image (attached).

Once I chamfered the oil hole to ensure it intersects the oil channel, I got a good supply of oil to the cups and stopped burning pushrods.



B stung, very good drawing and I had more or less the same thought while asleep. I know the BS head Dove rockers dont have a oiling channel in them. After banana grooving the shafts things improved, some, but not enough. The current rockers do have a channel, but I'll pull one off to see how it looks in relation to your pic.
